Blasphemy for Beginners: Art History with Better Punchlines

Blasphemy for Beginners, resurrects art history’s holiest icons for one last miracle: comic relief. By inserting modern objects, dialogue bubbles, and cultural commentary into Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces, she transforms moral epics into modern memes: saints are besieged by kittens, Cain wields a Louisville Slugger, and Adam—decked out in patriotic swimwear—hypes his “perfect Apple®.”

Each work layers classical compositions with modern absurdities, exposing the shared theatricality of both scripture and social media. Biblical solemnity collapses into meme culture, and somewhere between martyrdom and mockery, it's divine revelation meets digital remix.

Blurring the line between reverence and ridicule these scenes there were once divine revelation now scroll like a meme feed, proof that the absurd and the sacred have always been on speaking terms.

Neither hearsay nor heresy, just art history with better punchlines.
