The above is my family, from my parents to my great-grandparents. Family if extremely important to me. I wanted to express this in my art so I designed my own family tree. The tree represents myself. It is made from papier-mached crepe-paper. To represent the leaves or hair I glued individual pieces of string then added white and green leaf shaped beads. The photographs are mounted onto a think piece of foam tape that brings it off the canvas. I have this hung in my house where my grandparents can constantly see it. It brings happy tears to their eyes which I believe makes this painting mean so much more.
