Who Says You Can't Choose Your Own Family is an
ongoing series of portraits of imaginary family members.
Each portrait can stand alone, but when the paintings are
arranged next to each other, the people are forced to
interact. The dynamics of the family relationships are
controlled by the ordering of the paintings..
Each painting is oil on panel, 6 x 6 inches.
Above, one partial installation view. Below, selections from
the ongoing series.
