Family is a fun theme to explore in my artwork because families come in so many different configurations and there are so many different relationships that can be depicted. For every piece I do, I get multiple requests for other variations. If I show a mother and her daughters, I get asked to do a mother-son or father-son piece. If I show a couple with one child, I get asked to do one with multiple children or different genders. And don’t let me get started on grandparents and grandchildren!! I sometimes have to explain that I am not producing family portraits, just images that represent family relationships. I simply pick a family group that best represents the relationship I am trying to convey at the moment.
