Gigi Hesterman

The ongoing impetus for my work is the exploration of the potential social and economic fallout from our consumer lifestyle.

My paintings often present a micro view of the world, using source material I can find in my backyard. I use everyday suburban images, sometimes presented in unconventional contexts, to initiate a dialogue about contemporary issues.
