About the Painting:
This larger-than-life portrait captures the essence of Ms. Daisy Buckët, a Kansas City drag queen and internationally renowned performer. It celebrates the meticulous artistry and sheer splendor that underpin the creation of a drag persona.
Drag queens play a vital and multifaceted role in our society. Beyond their captivating performances and artistic expression, they serve as powerful symbols of self-identity, diversity, and acceptance. Drag queens challenge traditional gender norms and remind us that there’s no single way to define or express one’s gender. As Rupaul stated, “We’re all born naked, and the rest is drag.”
