A note to my uncle

I love you Uncle Jary and am lucky to have known you. I’ll miss your huge smile, infectious laugh and those weird faces you always made at me. It seems unfair now but I know you had a great life and you left us doing something you love, which is more than most can say. <3

3 Generations

I created these 6×6 collages a couple weeks ago, after my grandma spent the weekend with my fiance and I. The muted colors and layers in the first make me think of the generations in a family, and how different we seem at first but realizing that we’re absolutely the same. Based on thoughts I had while sitting in the backseat while driving with my mom and grandma, observing them together and thinking how amazing both of them are in their own way.
