This version of me showed up in bold colour, complicated layers and the kind of expression that says, “I’ve survived a few plot twists and still know how to throw a great dinner party.
I think self portraits are less about painting our faces and more about painting the parts of ourselves we can’t quite explain out loud. The hopeful bits. The weary bits. The mischievous bits that still buy funky shoes and dance in the kitchen to old records.
The older I get, the more I realize every painting is probably a self portrait in disguise. We only truly know the world through our own experience anyway.
Some collectors see joy in my work. Others see resilience. A few probably see “woman who definitely won’t tolerate beige thinking.”
GUESS WHAT? They’re all right.
This painting is part of the Unbroken series, where a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Little Warriors Canada.
Every self portrait tells the truth… eventually.
