Rebirth

Rebirth
Acrylic on Canvas
18 x 24 inches

A lot of starting fresh in my household.  This insect symbolizes a lot of things that I am not even able to talk about yet on my blog but he will be a good reminder to me of all the new possibilities that arise from things NOT working out the way you had hoped.

Illustration Friday - Voyage

Stories I Tell Myself About Reality
8 x 8
Acrylic and collage on box panel

After a long absence, I am returning to my blog and weekly Illustration Friday submissions.  The last year and a half has been (and continues to be) a long and arduous voyage, full of loss, fear, disappointment, guilt, and unexpected moments of hope and courage.  We experience life as an ongoing narrative that we tell ourselves to explain how events fit into our personal story.  I like the metaphorical strength of collage as a narrative device and hope to produce an ongoing series of collage works based on the theme "Stories I Tell Myself."  

I feel like Odysseus.....
