Stories

The paintings in Stories trace the story of my life. I have overturned a box of snapshots and picked out the ones that are meaningful to me from my infancy, childhood, and teenage years, as a young woman in love, a wife, mother, and grandmother. I have included portraits of my husband, children and grandchildren. Looking back in time, I am searching for the essence of myself as I navigate the present and face the future.
