Jean Barth’s art practice is grounded in the subject of trans self-representation. At the core of her creative methodology is 3D world-building which is then assembled into a tableau drawing on portraiture's history and broader cultural narratives to begin forming compositions. These compositions then become oil paintings and video works.
