Ending and Beginning Paintings (2022-2024)

These paintings mark the time in my life when I was losing my mother to Alzheimer’s,
and facing new beginnings without my parents at my side. The paintings incorporate
both of my parents’ handwriting as underlying structural elements along with some of
their favorite sayings, and are imbued with intertwined feelings of deep gratitude, love
and sadness.

All paintings are on wood, using acrylic, pencil and beeswax.

Many of these pieces were on display in the exhibition, 10,000 Eddies, with Bird Ross at
the Art & Literature Lab in Madison, January-March 2024.
