        The Family Tree


































































The Family Tree is a series of paintings and drawings
that I have been composing for years.  I love to use
plants and flower images to 'stand-in' for my family
members.  Why do I animate plant life?  I pretty much
blame that on "Alice in Wonderland" and any number
of fairy tales.  One of my all-time favorites is "Thumbelina".
My primary family consists of five of us, mom, dad, brother,
me, and a sister.  I look at this like a snapshot in time when
we all still lived in a state of cohesion.  I've never figured
out which one is me, it changes.
