Artist: Danielle Starling

Artist Statement:

As a woman, there is a certain feeling you get when you are dressed up. From the right dress to the right shoes, you are suddenly filled with a sense of your own femininity. You walk taller, more gracefully and are imbibed with a delicate sense of what it really is to be a woman. The vintage images of 1950’s women in dresses and high heels used in my work are synonymous to many women with a time when we dressed up every day. Using delicate papers, including pattern paper, to create and reflect this same feeling of femininity, I layer my prints in order to hide and reveal certain images, creating depth, contrast and interest. My work is meant to reflect the beauty that lies in the femininity of women and inspire them to their own sense of what that means for them. To help recreate the feeling of that perfect dress and a beautiful pair of shoes.
