Albrecht Kemper Museum of Art

An exhibition featuring nine paintings exploring themes of growing up in a cult, love, and family. The paintings consist of a self portrait, my brothers, sisters, parents and my son.

Family Is Like Blood

A written message to myself and each family member is embedded into each painting. Including the first line written in my own blood.

Seven Years

The exhibition took over seven years to complete.
