Blue and yellow are my mom’s favorite colors, seen in her kitchen wallpaper, which is collaged into this piece. This is important to note, because although my dad did almost all of the cooking, my mom was the rule enforcer, starting in the kitchen.There were other rules for dinner time, but the most grating was, before you can be excused you have to take Two Big Bites of everything on your plate.If you want to eat it all, excellent! If you want to eat none of it, makes no difference! You and Liz D were not leaving the table until you’d taken your bites. There were a lot of nights that I argued and cried, but I’d have grown old and died before she budged.As an adult hoping to become a parent myself I’ve really been “doing the work” to put myself in the best headspace for leading someone through the world, and I realized how much easier it would have been for her to just give up on those little lines in the sand. But when I say to myself, “the meaningless means more”, I’m talking about two big bites.You don’t get to shy away from the parts of life you don’t like. You don’t get to put difficulty and failure back in the pot. It wouldn’t happen in life, so it wasn’t starting at the DiSil table. Take your bites and move on! If it’s Lima beans, it’s just gonna blow no matter what…but if it’s baked beans, you might realize they’re fucking delicious. Either way, nastiness will dance in and out of your life and you have to find a way to make your peace with it. The works in the Total Woman series explore all sides of my relationships with femininity, women, and the females in my life that have shaped me, both good and bad. In this series I utilize wallpaper from my childhood home as a placeholder for the work I've done exploring my first examples of women, the ones I'm related to, and the effect they've had on me.

Originally from Kansas City, I grew up in a loud and passionate family that taught me self-expression as a basic instinct and necessity to get a word in at the dinner table. Fiery, honest and emotional since the womb, I’ve never known another way of being. I've been creating professionally for 4 years from my home studio in Tulsa, Oklahoma where I live with my husband, Jeremy, our daughter, Layla, and two rescue cats, Baker and Pablo.
