be-tween
I conceptualize be-tween as the space where my artist-life and mother-life converge. The content depicts my children eating, doing handstands, playing on their devices, and engaging in conversation and contemplation, the years between childhood and adolescence. I know time will pass, and these intimate, mundane moments could be forgotten. Working from the drawings in my Analog Stories series, I create abstract paintings using vibrant colors and thin oil washes. The layers of paint begin to overlap as do my memories of every day.
