Work
MissMe also known as “The Artful-Vandal”, was working as a senior art director when she quit her job to pursue her art career. She left a job that required her to produce and promote sexist popular media propaganda, in order to combat this very oppression through her powerful feminist art practice. She states that her goal is; “Self-liberation, authenticity, and to be a loud counter-voice to the objectification of women in mainstream advertising.”

MissMe’s renowned street art include large wheatpastes of female icons such as; Nina Simone, Marvin Gaye, and Amy Winehouse.

She has paintings all over the world, in almost every continent and in November 2018, MissMe increased her notability when Madonna purchased one of her art pieces featuring, her “Vandal.”
