Butter My Tail
2021
︎︎︎ 24 x 26 inches
︎︎︎Colored pencil on paper
︎︎︎ Monterrey, MX
“Here it is, on a silver platter. Your dinner for one, for a rich one. As a trophy. As an homage to Dali, the first artist I ever came to adore. From Rhode Island to Vegas, it speaks of gluttony and greed, of excess and of desire, of beauty. The boiling water as well as my hand bring the vibrancy of the bottom feeder out. It's ugly and it's magnificent, and aren't I saying, by putting it on a silver platter, you shan't look down up on it, you must respect it , salivate it, and dance around it. It's pleasure and hedonism, my favorite subjects.”

Wealth is Health
2021
︎︎︎ 61 x 59 inches
︎︎︎ Colored pencil on paper
︎︎︎ London, UK
“Some of the finest Silverware I have seen, Tiffany's cutlery from the St. Regis hotel in New York. A little bit of old school with a little bit of new school. The mussels packaging from my local Deli whilst living in London last year. Some of where I'd come from and some of where I was. Canned mussels to be precise - hardly a delicacy, hardly a food to be eaten with a fork and spoon. Playing with class systems. Hello again to the high low. The formidable Tiffany's blue, with the reflections of the blue sky. Both rare colors to see where I was staying in London. This piece foremostly plays with light, then with the meanings behind such contrasting dining experiences. Seen together will give you a piece of me. A piece of comfort and a piece of luxury.”

Entertainment For Men
2021
︎︎︎ 30 x 24 inches
︎︎︎ Colored pencil on paper
︎︎︎ Mallorca, Spain
“A collection of gatherings. A collection of my favourite things from the past year. I've been misplaced and in 100 different locations. I've been single and I've been settled. It's iconic and it's non recognisable but, within my composition, I declare it's all of the same. Same recognizability, but perhaps in it's pairing, it now has different connotations. The mushroom isn't about tripping, it's about foraging and hiking in Colorado, the pearl isn't a sexual node, it's about a freezing winter in Amsterdam, the necklace; Nicragua, and the sticker, just a little un-named Lass in Idaho.
This piece says more about me than any other work, but I'm hoping it will say something totally different to each viewer and what they make not only of the items in the piece, but their relationship to the ones next to them.”

Everything and Lox
2021
︎︎︎ 30 x 30 inches
︎︎︎ Colored pencil on paper
︎︎︎ Southampton, NY
“My surroundings are my themes, my inspiration and my reason to create art. Objects tie me to places and times, and having moved from NYC now, this piece holds a special place in my story. Before I moved to the US, my favorite restaurant in Melbourne was a NYC bagel spot (Jungle Juice, Center Place). It's what got me excited to move to the Big City. NYC is what made me into an artist, and now moving from there I'm paying my respect. I love The City not for it's wealth or "success stories" but for it's grit and grind, for the everyday, the everyman, for the bodegas and street carts, the coffee and the slice and now, I can't say this is to wrap up my nyc series, because that place is boundless, but for the next addition, it's the Bagel.
It's quintessential, it's commonplace, it's Sunday mornings, it's any day you want. It's my love for the chaos I called home and it's, to be frank, just fucking good food. For me, as the title suggests, it's everything and more, and the best way it comes; everything with lox.
My aesthetic is constantly trying to combine the low with the high, the tacky and the classy, from how I dress to what I'm drawn to, to what I draw. We could've gone with an egg and cheese addition, but I chose the expensive option, the option I used to have to miss out on when I first moved to NYC. It's the staple food, but it's the fancy one. It's the subway and it's the skyscrapers. It's the greasy paper you trash and the framed artwork you hang. It's me and it's the partnership of high/low I live for.”

“The cyrillic alphabet is a thing of beauty in and of itself. For years I’ve wanted to warp its text in an artwork. This baking soda came into my hands while sourcing with a client. Colored cardboard under the direct sun gives me the highlights I desire, and the heavy black text is what I’ve been chasing to draw”

Bella, when finally able to move her physical location after covid lockdowns to live and work in London, she was then finally able to browse stores to peruse for inspiration once the lockdown permitted.

Always wanting to incorporate oil in her drawings for it's thick reflective nature, she felt it was time to do the real whole thing.

Inspired by the symbolism and recognizable imagery of New York City, McGoldrick started drawing bodega coffee cups and New York City lottery tickets as a way to capture her new surroundings. “Something about the low brow goods and everyday objects depicted in such a precise way seemed to demonstrate how valuable it really is.” New Yorkers will always argue what the perfect iconic slice is. This captures McGoldrick’s in all its greasy glory. Long live the New York slice.

︎︎︎ 37 x 29 inches

︎︎︎ Oaxaca, Mexico
“How sad the way our world is not only overrun by factories rather than forests but plastic instead of oceans. The use of single use plastic makes me feel horrified and also to blame, we’re all to blame. I wanted to give a nod to our useless and somewhat hopeless relationship with plastic and the “ease” it gives our life, the “beauty” it tries to emulate and the destruction its doing to our home. The way fruit is sold without its skin but in a plastic shield, so too are our windows closed and our city’s further away from the wilderness, we cut stems and tie them with nylon string and hope our flowers will last whilst we dispose of the plastic that will outlive all.
I produced this work around the same time as Plastic Makes Perfect and Old Money, New Face which looks at the relationship between money and beauty, as too in this piece, I’m looking at how we believe technological advances can harness fleeting beauty. Which I happen to believe; cannot.”

Inclusive Wave
2019
︎︎︎ 27 x 23 inches
︎︎︎ Colored pencil on paper
︎︎︎ New York, US
Driving across the U.S. in a beat up RV, McGoldrick explored pawn shops, museums (MoMa ticket), antique stores, yard sales and friend’s attics to find artifacts forgotten. Through this continued series of tickets, old packets and mantlepiece finds, the artist draws into their worn days, highlighting a time when they were handled, a place where they were used, and a memory of how they were once important. Her technique in exacting these ‘receipts’ to their life-like form brings new awareness of their handled nature and beauty into the once overlooked.

McGoldrick has drawn NYC’s iconic Anthora coffee cup several times in hyperrealistic form, but in this newest release she pairs it with a page ripped from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby,” a classic American novel revolved around a mysterious wealthy man in 1920s New York. The combination is meant to parallel ways the artist perceives New York. “We have old traditions, old literature, new money and some little lady hoping to put all of it to good use...”

“The Australian Diet Coke, which I don’t think people realize, in the US the DC’s (as we say in Aus, slang for Diet Coke) are all silver. A commissioned piece for a close friend's dad’s 50th birthday. When I was a beer drinker, I shamed the sugar alternative and the real deal Coke’s but as I’ve weaned off the booze.. Well, it’s quite a treat.”

“I picked up the condom from a very unpleasant and difficult visit to Planned Parenthood. I thought I was just attracted to its texture and reflective surface. When I later photographed it, and paired it with the yellow string, I thought it was its opposite texture that made it interesting. In hindsight, this was a really awful time in my life. My plans had unraveled like the string had and I guess I was trying to immortalize or signify something in my life. Not having the words to do so or even being conscious in my mind, this artwork came out of it. Something that I couldn’t really talk about became art that could mean whatever the viewer wanted from it, and that felt freeing in a way.”

“I bought an RV and drove around Baja California, Mexico and the US for 4 month. Picking up artifacts along the way. I liked to call it a “work trip” which would really make office workers laugh. It was long days driving without AC, and stops at gas stations in the middle of the desert, yard sales with foreboding pitbulls chained up, and pawn shops with wedding rings sold. This bust was found at such a yard sale in Oregon, and the dizzy wall hanging rug, from somewhere/nowhere in Arizona, with our sweat marks surely still absorbed in it. This piece made my fingers raw and my eyesight twisted.”

Not So Golden Daisy

︎︎︎ Colored pencil on paper
︎︎︎ New York, US
Driving across the U.S. in a beat up RV, McGoldrick explored pawn shops, antique stores, yard sales and friend’s attics to find artifacts forgotten. Through this continued series of tickets, old packets and mantlepiece finds, the artist draws into their worn days, highlighting a time when they were handled, a place where they were used, and a memory of how they were once important. Her technique in exacting these ‘receipts’ to their life-like form brings new awareness of their handled nature and beauty into the once overlooked. The photorealistic nature of these drawings take up to 60 hours per piece.

Pleasure to Serve
2019
︎︎︎ 52 x 52 inches
︎︎︎ Colored pencil on paper
︎︎︎ New York, US
McGoldrick continues her love affair with the iconography of New York City in her drawing of the Greek coffee cup, more formally known as the “Anthora.” This was the first large scale subject she drew, and you can see her focus here turn to used and worn pieces of history in her work. The relic is no longer a staple around the city after corporate coffee franchises opened on many corners throughout the late ‘90s, so McGoldrick worked with her local bodega to source it for this piece. The original drawing took 87 hours to complete, helping a piece of New York history live on through her hyperrealistic portrait.

McGoldrick’s photorealistic still life drawings capture the intimacy and life of the objects we wear, eat, and handle on a daily basis. These used, pre-adored, and often discarded objects are instilled with a sense of curiosity and sentimentality towards the people that once utilized these now forgotten artifacts of daily life. McGoldrick’s depiction of lotto scratch-offs, found crumpled on the streets of New York City, conveys how these forlorn objects, once ripe with potential of delivering the American dream, are now memorialized, with every crease and crevice filled with the possibility of what could have been.
