Who Am I?

Gesso play.
Lately, my mother seems to be disappearing into a corner of her mind that I can't reach. This piece reflects the decaying of our minds and bodies as we age.

My Birthday Collage

My Birthday collage - I hope to do this annually! This one is completely digital.

The background was painted on canvas paper and scanned into the computer. The man on the lower left is my great-grandfather, digitally manipulated and saved as a brush in Photo Shop. The stars and text are also brushes. The Carousel horse is an image I shot during my Cape Cod trip - manipulated and stripped of his color. He was also saved as a brush. There are also two ghost-like images of a self-portrait.
