ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This painting is part of my first fully abstract painting series. I paint the Aurora Borealis in memory of my daughter Aurora Annette, who died from Sudden Unexpected Infant Death, three days after she and her identical twin sister were two months old. I alchemize my grief, pain, and heartbreak into colorful paintings, inspired by the Aurora Borealis, and I dedicate each one to Aurora Annette. This abstract series serves as the visualization of my years-long journey from primary infertility to the grief after losing one of my twin infants. My artwork is several layers deep, from the literal layers of vibrant metallic acrylic paint and colorshifting glitter pigments to the emotional layers of trauma, depression, grief, and anxiety. The bright colors and sparkly glitter details are a stark contrast to the darker, more complex and complicated emotions that they hold. This piece is titled "It's Twins" the words that changed my life forever. Prior to finding this out, I was reeling with the disappointment of only having one healthy embryo, after enduring an emotionally and physically trying cycle of In-Vitro Fertilization. However, our one, single, unicorn embryo miraculously split and now I was pregnant with twins. I often wish to return to this time, of pure joy, completely untouched by loss or grief.
