A Portrait of Maya Rudolph

Rhee LightnerA Portrait of Maya Rudolph, 2022Work size: 8 W x 10 H inMaterials: Acrylic paint and pencil on wood From the Artist: co·me·di·enne I laughed every Saturday night in the mid 2000’s. What made me laugh every week? SNL introduced several female powerhouse comediennes such as Maya Rudolph, Kristen Wiig, and Tina Fey. Maya, the triple threat, Rudolph is such a master of disguise that I actually forget she is pretending to be someone else when she performs as Donatella Versace. She is so memorable in this role, that the two women will forever be fused in my memory. ( kinda like Transformers, but sexy) Being such a splendid creature, Maya Rudolph invites envy, but also impetuous. She is a lovely reminder that we can be silly and DISCIPLINED while achieving our goals!
