My family is a blend of cultures. Through my paintings I explore the complexities and beauty of blending cultures within the context of everyday life. The love and chaos we share inside our home. The moments outside our home, where we are met with curiosity, commentary, sideways looks and even hostility. Exploring family dynamics and life as a single mom after domestic violence. I want to highlight the humorous moments of raising kids, the discomfort when you don't clearly fit in, and the mundane moments.
