Family  1.25x95 cms. Acrylics on canvas

As families, we belong together, but we are each individuals. 
This piece celebrates our differences reflected as the varied
 typography of each letter in the cohesive unit of the word, family. 

The palette captures the dynamics of family as it grows and changes with time.
The sunlit memories and golden moments of milestones and laughter; the passion
of loves come and gone, the heated flashes of anger when we lose control;
and the light and shade within all of us.

Some days our letters are haggard, some days they're bright and bold, 
and some days they're somewhere in between. 
But together we support each other, each of us a different
but essential part of family.
 $2200    Framed ready to hang.

Thank you to Aprill Enright Allen for assisting in writing this artist statement which in prose expresses perfectly what I wanted to create visually.
