Deals Is She Pretty on the Inside? [Original Painting]

“Slutkiss girl
Won't you water her rack?
Is she pretty on the inside, baby?
Pretty from the back?
Slutkiss girl
Molasses rot black strap
Is she ugly on the inside, baby?
Ugly, ugly from the back?
There is no power like my pretty power
My pretty power
My ugly
Slutkiss girl
Won't you promise her smack?
Is she pretty on the inside?
Is she ugly?”

— Courtney Love (Hole), “Pretty on the Inside,” 1991

An original 16 in. x 12 in. mixed media painting created in 2019. Made using acrylic, ink, glitter, marker, and plastic pearls on paper on wood panel.

This piece addresses issues regarding beauty standards and self esteem, particularly how a woman can move pass the harmful messages that surround her and find beauty in herself. The butterflies represent the feminine beauty and essence, as well as hope and courage.

This painting includes hanging wire already installed on the back, so it is ready to hang right out of the box!
