Monsters
I never set out to make monsters, they just came out. They started as small lunch-notes I made for my youngest son. When I was in France for an artist residency my monsters manifested on a large scale. I wasn't sure how I felt about them, but seeing them through my peer's eyes I was able to see their value, and humor. I realized that if someone else was making them I would feel like I missed out. Monsters have become a constant part of my day, and my identity. I hope you can see the honesty and joy in them as I do.
