Memory Painting

Growing up my mother was always interested in how our home was decorated and furnished, so I grew up looking at the intricate designs on our carpet and elaborate paintings hand picked by her. Later in life, as we began to struggle financially we eventually had to sell a majority of the furniture and art that I had long grown familiar with. However, she was adamant about keeping the items shown in my artwork, so every time I look at them, I’m reminded of my childhood and the memories that such simple but beautiful objects hold.
