Original artwork description
My oldest daughter, Ronah, loves helping me in our family art studio. I typically make my artwork by piecing together small sections of my drawings, paintings, wood scraps, and doodles from my children. For this piece in particular I wanted to highlight Ronah's art, she created beautiful bubble paintings for me to incorporate, she also gave me great suggestions about where to place her pieces and enjoyed cheering me on and discussing the process as I worked. The patchwork quality in quilting, marquetry and similar crafts has always appealed to me aesthetically and I love the challenge of using forgotten or unwanted remnants. Conceptually, I enjoy upcycling or elevating overlooked scraps into a new work of art. It has also become a fun tradition in our art studio for Ronah and her younger twin sisters to make “pieces for mommy” and I love finding where to best incorporate them in my artwork.
