“Ana Teresa Fernández was born in Tampico, Mexico and currently resides in San Francisco. She earned her B.F.A. and M.F.A. from the San Francisco Art Institute, where she is currently an Art Professor. She has won numerous awards and recognition for her paintings, sculptures and videos. She is known for her exploration of women’s strength and sensuality in the process of performing labor, her provocative images of women bent over mopping floors, ironing shirts, or dragging long locks of wet hair along the floor, reveal the ambivalence of femininity: Sensual and edgy, willful but polite, powerful yet vulnerable, strong enough to do manual labor, yet beautiful in heels.”

No further comment Carolyn. This is a very slippery slope. 🙂
Agree.. ! You’ve done well… 😉 😉
power
Yes. Much.
Cannot say that I have ever swam in high heels before, interesting take…
You know Tina, I didn’t even see the high heels in that shot. Too mesmerized by the water. Thanks for pointing it out.
Such an original eye—I love it when an artist grabs me and makes me think… 🙂
Yes, and the vibrancy of the colors, just grabs me.
There’s something really relaxing and therapeutic about hanging out washing and then bringing it in again, all folded up nicely and smelling all of the fresh air. I love that painting in particular.
Me too, the clothes hanging painting is what captured my attention.
Wow!! I’m the laundry lady. 🙂
In heels too!
