A painting from 2023. It’s about my mom’s stay in a Displaced Persons camp at the end of WWII.

Testing and here is my first Flash! This is a painting from 2023, based on a toile wallpaper pattern. I snuck in a little painting of my childhood home.

“Why hasn’t anyone bought this yet? It’s fuckin’ awesome”- my husband last night. I brought this home to hang in our luxury unit since we now have such large, plain walls. I also have the portrait of my momma as a kiddo that was painted by an unknown artist in the displaced persons camp.

Varnishing this painting with Gamvar Satin. The varnish offers UV protection for my fluorescent pigments. I may add a coat of cold wax varnish to reduce the sheen.

When I visited Lithuania in 2006 I noticed that every time we went out, my cousin’s husband brought a leather satchel. “His documents”, my cousin explained. 50 years of authoritarian rule had ended, but he was conditioned to bring his papers everywhere with him.

Arrival of the Displaced, 2023.

I’m gonna start wearing this around so people know they can’t piss me off by blowing smoke in my direction

Found this in one of my college sketchbooks. If I am proud of nothing else, at least I am proud of being consistent in my beliefs 🤷‍♀️

First post-
