The Back Story

Grid Inspired

Quarantine Painting

This piece is based on the view from the front porch of my childhood home for an assignment to make a grid inspired composition for a painting. A lot of my work during this time captures moments, feelings and experiences in this house before moving. Originally there were trees on the lawn across the street but they were taken down. It would’ve been interesting adding them but this created an easier to identify grid pattern.
