Connecting the Dots - a series of 100 pieces – began as a triptych and has evolved into 70 interconnected pieces. I have a sense that it will be completed at 100 interconnected pieces. When I started this project, I was intent on painting a narrative that says something about connection and memory. Dreams surfaced too. I was, I am, interested in the delicate little fibers that bridge together, people, places and things.
