Siblings After, 2025

Oil paint on wood panel

24 in x 36 in

Here I paint a scene of myself and my six siblings in an imagined space, painted from memory. Last year, I moved out of my childhood home, and in this painting I am attempting to convey the change in sibling dynamics as I learn to show up for my own needs while continuing to feel a pull to appease the needs and desires of each sibling. Painted on a wood panel found in my new home, this piece is a visual and material manifestation of my new and developing relationship with my siblings as an adult.
