A Decent Girl

"Open road. No map. Drove west."

This body of work was inspired by the book “Six-Word Memoirs By Writers Famous And Obscure”. The book is a collection of hundreds of memoirs each reduced to a mere six words by their authors. Having long been a painter of narrative art, I decided to apply the same challenges of the abbreviated life story to a collection of autobiographical paintings. Each piece represents a chapter in my life reduced to one image that tells the “long story short”.
