THE DONKEYS BELLY

After confronting a major life change and greatest fear, I found myself at a crossroads with my art. I was unable to move forward. So the logical thing for me to get through this was to turn to the past.
The works in this show are an examination of my past works and the creative journey that has brought me to this point.
As I’ve navigated various subjects and created through a magnitude of expressions, I wanted to confront each one once more outside of its initial context to see what remained true. Did the potency of subject leave me? Did it transform to something new? If I put my mind there once more while creating under it- would I feel detached or find myself again?
Through the span of one year working on this, I discovered all these parts of myself as a sort of complication of “guests” that had come into my life, stayed briefly while I painted them, and then they left.
