Family Unit
MFA Thesis Exhibition at the Georgia Musuem of Art, 2013

This series explores behavior and memory from a familial point of view. I was interested in how personality and morality develop, and how that transforms over a lifetime. These pieces specifically relate to memories of childhood experiences and my interpretation of how they shaped me and my family members. In each piece I wanted to create an inviting world in which to experience emotion. Through the painting, layering, destroying, and recreating, I worked through my feelings about the history of my immediate family. Guilt, confusion, anger, love and nostalgia echo inside the hills, skies, and valleys of the environments depicted.
 
I have always been drawn to the possibilities and limitations of the two-dimensional surface, which invites me to play vacillate between shallow and deep space within my works. Some works have areas of deep space, but I love to bring the viewer back to the flat plane of the canvas with texture, patterns, and or colors that sit right on top of the work. With collaged elements, I play with creatures and objects protruding from the surface.
