Lives in Brownsville, Texas
Sam Rawls, an artist born in Brownsville, Texas, creates introspective self-portraits that explore intimate emotions through light and darkness. Her work deconstructs and reconstructs autobiographical portraiture, balancing discrete introspection and unrestrained revelations. Each brushstroke and meticulously placed dot blurs the boundaries of her perception and feelings towards body image, inviting viewers to delve beyond the surface. Rawls’ art examines the relationship between women and their bodies amidst societal pressures, celebrating fat bodies through contemporary figurative art. Utilizing pointillism, she portrays self-love as a continuous journey, emphasizing the emotional depth and truths about oneself often masked by conventional ideals.
