Love and Angels and Change - 24x36 - Digital Painting - 2021

My series of paintings featuring tree people (treople?) is one where I focus on various aspects of the human condition, but I choose to represent that aspect using figures crafted from trees. The purpose of this is to show the experience rather than show someone specific experiencing the experience. Instead of seeing a person, this approach forces the viewer to see the experience first.

Additionally, I've made a specific stylistic change in the work I produce in 2021 treople when compared to the first series from 2009 by cutting away portions of the background. The background shows that these figures are rooted in the natural world, but during the experience we transcend the boundaries of the world around us.

Sometimes I paint things that represent experiences I've had, and ones I imagine many others have had, to illustrate our shared connections. Sometimes I paint about things I wish I could say were true through first-hand experience, but only really exist for me as an idea. Like my motherhood painting, love, and the growth and change accompanied by it, elude me. elude many of us.
