20 x 16, original mixed media painting created with paper collage and oil paint on cradled panel.
 
This piece ended up being far more personal than I intended.  Within the collage design of this piece are multiple figures that each carry an emotion or certain personality.  Pensive, happy-go-lucky, introspective, confident, etc.  Seven in all and it's in this complete expression that I find myself living as a mid-40s mother and artist.   Hidden under the softness of my aging body is a multi-layered individual who thinks, feels, and moves in many paradoxical and strange ways.  Beautiful and rather wild.
