Stephanie Crawford's paintings are as colorful as her life story. A celebrated jazz vocalist, the trans artist joined drag with blues in the 1980s New York performance art scene. Her splashy paintings seem to begin with lines that she intentionally draws outside of. Crawford's work is playfully paired with Meg Lipke's medium-defying cut, stuffed, and sewn canvases, which look like surreal pillows floating across the gallery's walls.
