notes to self

This series started out, as most series do, with a single painting. Titled notes to self: remember to giggle, it was a reminder to not take myself so seriously. The painting started as a series of dark shapes, reminiscent of Matisse silhouettes, it reflected all the things currently in my world that were stifling joy. And so, notes to self: remember to giggle, was born. Each work is something I hope to improve upon in my self. 36" x 36", they are created with 40-60 layers of paint, sandwiched with mica powders, and pastels.
