Her painting technique pushes the boundaries of perception, compressing 3D space into a 2D plane, effectively blurring the lines between art and life. The living paintings series is her spin on reality. By wrapping her subject in a mask of paint, she skews the way that the core of the subject is perceived.
Typically, when you look at a painting, you’re looking at an artist’s interpretation of the subject painted on canvas. In her artistic interpretation of the subject, she paints directly on top of the subject she is referencing rather than using canvas. Essentially, her art imitates life – on top of life. For example, with Portrait of a Self-Portrait you are simultaneously looking at a portrait she painted of herself, a photo she took of herself, and at her.

Weird and interesting! Plus I think the first pic is on the DC metro.
I saw that top one somewhere, but didn’t stop to read about it. Interesting!
