Created for "Wish Upon a Star: An Art Tribute to Disney" 2023 (Insomnia Gallery, Houston, TX - June 9, 2023)

Year: 2023

Medium: Acrylic on wood panel

Size: 12 x 9 inches (16.75 x 13.75 x 1.25 with frame)

I originally painted this piece for a Disney tribute show. Because I love art history and Byzantine icons in particular, I decided to depict one of my favorite characters, Esmeralda from The Hunchback of Notre Dame, in the style of a religious icon.

Esmeralda embodies "the least of these" on many levels: as a Romani woman in the midst of deeply Catholic medieval France, she is marginalized for her ethnicity, religion, gender, poverty, and for the itinerant nature of her people. However, during her song "God Help the Outcasts" (from which comes the title of this painting), she prays not for the betterment of her own circumstances but for those "less lucky than I," displaying a generosity of spirit and a deep caring for others. This is alluded to via the water bucket and ladle in her hand, which is both a nod to the stage show (where she offers water to the tormented Quasimodo) as well as a symbol of her willingness to offer simple kindness to her fellow man.

Out of the Woodwork brings together discarded remnants—twist ties, scrap fabric, empty drink cans, even the dried acrylic paints scraped off my palette—into a composition as old as time: a woman, posed against a veritable cornucopia of foliage and flowers. But this woman is no silent, ornamental receptacle: she leans out of her world into ours, eyes urgent and lips parted, ready to speak her piece.
