memory portrait
I create these mixed media paintings from collected photos, letters, paper, paint and other ephemeral. They are created to honor loved ones in my life and lives of others, and remember those no longer with us. Sometimes they highlight a shared memory or are a collection of many. I started making these pieces many years ago as a way of working with my families relationship with Alzheimer’s and memory loss .
