C.H.A.C. 04/2006 SHOW.....

Bunnies, Flowers and Skulls:


The seemingly endless winter had produced more than enough excitement for the upcoming spring. This excitement had fueled images of bunnies and flowers in pinks and greens. Which would represent all that was going to be new and achieved in 2007. The skull element would be a quiet reminder to be thankful for your health, life and the time you have here on earth.

The goal was to take these three elements and use them as guidelines for this theme that I wanted to explore for the “VIDA” spring show. What I thought was going to be a restraint turned into an exciting chain of expression. By using different mediums and styles, each painting took on it’s own unique perspective on the overall theme.

This trio of bunnies, flowers, and skulls, became the perfect expression of life’s journey. As a whole collection they exhibit strength, peace, sorrow, wealth, love, etc... All of the things that make the game of life worth playing. “VIDA”
