This painting is part of the Growing Up Art Show this September in Edmonton. Being a very personal collection of my own "growing up experiences", this is a stylized version of myself trying on my first bra. I was one of those pre-teen girls who wanted to wear bras, shave my legs and wear make up before my parents deemed it appropriate (they were most likely right). So when the time finally came to purchase my first bra I cherished the experience through my embarrassment.
