Born in Chicago, Croteau believed in the power of visual, and uses her work as her voice. Her art is about "looking
at things in a slightly differrent way and is intended to undermine the status quo with humor and ironic juxtaposition"
Her art is "in-you face, radically and unapologetically feminist. She sees her work as social criticism - a visual challenge
to all the sexists cultural assumptions that are the bedrock of the patriarchal order".
Judgement of Paris (1998), Oil on Canvas, 24"x28"
