The painting "She Dresses Herself" is part of a series called "Street Fashion". This series documents a movement, especially amongst young people, to purchase their clothing second-hand or to repurpose used clothing and who put together a statement, a look that represents their character rather than following the trends of fast fashion. This painting articulates the freedom that children experience in their personal artistic expression in choosing what they wear. The series applauds this movement to reject trends in fashion and its toxic environmental results.

Kenna Barradell
Pender Island, British Columbia
Kenna Barradell is a multimedia artist whose creations paint vivid narratives reflecting the events and attitudes prevalent within communities and society—a form of social commentary inviting discussion about difficult social and political issues. The majority of her works are large-scale acrylic paintings on linen.
"Ideas about community and social life inspire me to paint. The painting comes together as I work on the canvas completely from my imagination, very much like an author who writes fiction develops characters as she writes."
