Whitney Hackett | Artist Statement
Whitney Hackett explores memory and nostalgia through her body of dreamy and celebratory paintings. Her innocent appreciation for everyday life encourages a childlike playfulness in her work. Through the enshrinement of simple things, she elevates the ordinary to the extraordinary. The juxtaposition of her imagery speaks to the interconnectedness of all life, the way we assign meaning to the material world, and the honoring of our existence.
Whitney Hackett grew up in Fort Myers, Florida, where she currently lives and works as an artist. She holds a BFA from the University of Florida.
