Get to know Marina Ross, a painter whose emotionally charged practice reimagines The Wizard of Oz through the lens of cultural memory, personal grief, and the performance of femininity. Drawing on her journey from the former Soviet Union to the American Midwest, Ross transforms iconic film stills into haunting, layered meditations on nostalgia, loss, and the shifting myths of the American Dream. Her recurring Dorothys—sometimes luminous, sometimes dissolving—invite viewers into a fragile, dreamlike space where past and present blur. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Click the link in our bio to explore Ross’ work with Tappan.
