Throwin’ Shade

Sept - Oct 2019 | The Bends, St. Petersburg, FL

Inspired by pop art and the devastating Florida sun, Throwin’ Shade captures 8 fierce and flirtatious female portraits who fearlessly speak their minds and wear their hearts on their sleeves, or their sunnies. Unlike everyday shades, the text on these sunglasses reveals rather than disguises the wearer’s true intensions. This tongue in cheek approach to portraiture challenges the traditional austerity usually associated with oil painting.
