The Delaplaine

“I stage elaborate, detailed settings of a dream-like, mythologized America of spectacular material wealth, ease, and palatial dwellings to explore the gap between fiction, reality, and cultural difference.”

“My work is rooted in a foundation of strong women who devoted their lives to their families. My imagery is a mix of whimsy and dreamlike compositions based on these women, and a childhood spent in a tiny white house that sat in a small Pennsylvania town.”
