"Bakin' Babs" Fine Art Prints

About the Work

Part of The Old Maids series, Bakin’ Babs reimagines the retro trad-wife archetype with a wink and a whip of frosting. A cheeky pin-up balances confidently on a kitchen table in her vintage heart apron, arm outstretched as she presents a perfectly poised cupcake. Around her, a nostalgic, kitschy kitchen bursts with pastel desserts, sugar-dusted signage, and the warm charm of mid-century homemaker aesthetics—turned just absurd enough to expose the performance beneath the ideal.

Above it all, an open sky spills into the room as oversized floating desserts drift overhead, crowding the scene with surreal sweetness. Playful and ironic, Bakin’ Babs pokes at the expectations once placed on women to delight, serve, and smile at all costs—while celebrating the bold, self-aware femininity of a woman who stands on the table rather than beside it.
