KIM MCCARTY
Kim McCarty's watercolors depict adolescent girls and young women hovering between presence and absence, innocence and wisdom, and past, present, and future. Working rapidly, at times using only a single color and at others a haunting, bruise-inspired palette of acid yellows and oranges, greens, and browns, McCarty's portraits evoke the sense of uncertainty, ambivalence, anxiety, and loss with which we view today's generation of girls and young women.
