Hailey MARIE Losselyong
HAILEY M. LOSSELYONG IS A 22 YEAR OLD VISUAL ARTIST BASED IN CHICAGO. HML PHOTOGRAPHS FEMALE SUBJECTS THEN REIMAGINES THEM BY PAINTING ABSTRACT VERSIONS. THE ARTIST USES BRIGHT COLORS, BOLD LINES AND POLKA DOTS TO EMPHASIZE THE BEAUTY AND BRILLIANCE OF WOMEN.
HML HAS ALSO BEEN ABLE TO COMBINE HER ART WITH FASHION BY CREATING UNIQUE HAND PAINTED PIECES. THE COMBINATION OF HER PAINTED WOMEN AND THE SAYING “LEAVE ME ALONE” HAVE BECOME STAPLE PIECES THAT PROMOTE EMPOWERMENT OF WOMEN AND SEND A MESSAGE AGAINST STREET HARASSMENT.
FURTHER THAN CREATING IMAGES, THE GOAL IS FOR WOMEN, WITH AN EMPHASIS ON WOMEN OF COLOR, TO BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY WITH THE WORK AND IN TURN SEE THEMSELVES AS ART.
