Kin
In my series of paintings Kin I portrayed children from different cultures in various states of emotional unrest. All the paintings are very dear to me. They are all female; however, they were painted ambiguously in order to leave their gender up to the viewer. It is clear that each child has her story, but I do not try to convey too much in any of the portraits.

Arabella is my favorite piece in the entire series. There is an energy to her eyes and hands. I have been told that she frightens people or leaves them with an uneasy feeling. However, she makes me feel better. It is as though she knows everything. It is as though she is a wise old women peering out beneath a child's gaze.
