These paintings are from my Thank You Notes series, expressing gratitude to artists who have influenced me. I had been working on these as Covid restrictions began. As I got more time to work in the studio, I reflected on my art journey and realized how several artists had been really influential. These two women in particular were the first I had seen that looked like me and were making contemporary art that reflected their stories and heritage. Do check them out for yourself:
