As a little girl, I grew up in the realm of Disney Princesses and their happily ever after endings. Since I’ve grown up I have distanced myself from the Disney image and immersed myself in what the real world has offered me, a world of disenchantment. I am drawn to obscure realities and nostalgic iconography. I enjoy looking at images that draw me into other realms , into the artist’s subconscious where I can burrow to find my own inspiration. The stories that have inspired the Disney Princesses have been sugar-coated to fit a certain image that has become one of the most profitable , and marketable franchises in the world. I am inspired by the collaborative teamwork of Disney animators and the atrocities seen in news papers and on TV. The question I pose for the viewer is what if there were no happily ever after, what would realistically happen to these idealized princesses?
