Though my subjects are gentle giants, my work is about my life and life experiences.  This series started as a sort of art therapy. I was working and living with a lot of extreme characters who had big thoughts and feelings. Some were monumental while others may have just felt that way. I needed to process all I thought and felt more so then because I absorb the moods of those around me. In my painting I was able to differentiate their’s from mine. 

The series has continued as a “catch all” as I am always thinking and feeling through myself and my surroundings.
