About this artwork

Artist Johansen Newman presents a portrait of a child in a lavishly decorated room. The girl wears her finest dress while clutching onto her rattiest stuffed animal. With her defiant stance, wild hair, and choice of stuffed animal to hold, Hannah seems to be crying out, ÒYou can dress me up and put me in the parlor, but you canÕt make me a girly girl.Ó The painting reminds Johansen of her childhood when she resisted the effort of adults to define how she should look and act.
