Unfinished Fun

Figurative, In Progress, Portraits

The gloriously fun and fabulous ancestors of my children — a 10’ x 7’ “unfinished” (or is it?) canvas that hangs like a tapestry — I bring it out for Fundraiser Galas that are located in unsightly venues and most recently, for my daughter’s wedding. I met some of the people in the photograph, but with just one look at those amazingly awesome people, I knew I must capture their likeness and their spirits as best as ever I could!

This is the song Tennessee Kamanski wrote about my daughter Sophie, her great friend when they were girls. Tennessee preformed Sings to Snails at my daughter’s wedding feast 3 years ago. It was a very low budget but super fun party.

Children of the Artist

HERstory, In Progress, Portraits

So there is a sizable time gap in my Exhibitions/ Education HERstory, but that is because I was a devoted mother and housewife for 20+ years…. These three are my ultimate creation investment, and will continue to be an artistic/creative focus for the entirety of my life. I am fully invested spiritually, artistically, genetically on what becomes of these three amazingnesses (sorry, there is no other word I can use to describe!) So… Well, an Artist’s life takes interesting turns and there will be gaps and relapses — but I confess that I am hopelessly forever involved with these three beings and I will always be their champion, cheerleader, sounding board, and scapegoat… whatever it takes to see them rise and shine. 48 x 36, Oil on Canvas, 2003.
