An invitation to exhibit a self portrait in Chicago inspired me to consider something entirely new. In my adult life, I can't recall ever painting a self portrait yet the idea has completely captivated me. I paint primarily abstractly so I thought doing an abstract portrait would be the perfect place to begin. Now I can see that I have been launched in an entirely new direction and I am excited to explore.

The first series was abstracted to some degree, however, when I began a second series things changed. When I used some photos of my family as references I found myself wanting to go in an entirely different direction and not completely lose the faces I love.

It was a fun surprise to see that Sergio Gomez used my photo for the logo for the exhibition.
