Family Ties Statement

I begin with tiny snapshots. I like that the painting begins on paper—slightly

wrinkled, worn, and transitory. The snapshots are from my family’s archives

of photographs over the past 100 years, portraits of people that I sense have

touched my life somewhere, somehow, however momentarily. Six degrees

of separation. Less.

The pixels are the portals through which I access the stories inside the snaps.

And as one imagines a snap shot ‘freezing’ the moment, I unfreeze it and

open it to interpretation through the intuition I have, the mediums I use,

through heart and soul. Through art.
