I painted Betty With a Gun as a collision between classic Americana and modern grit. Inspired by the iconic 1950s housewife... poised, polished, and picture-perfect.
She has an M16 to break the mold. It’s a nod to vintage pin-up culture, but with a twist: she's not just the homemaker anymore, she’s the protector, the rebel, the force.
This print was orignally made using oil on canvas, rendered in the soft, nostalgic style of mid-century advertising art—but what she’s holding adds an edge that pulls you back into the present. It’s about contrast: beauty and danger, tradition and disruption.
