Early Work

Tiny Rebel

The first gallery has my early attempts at oil painting. The second gallery is a storyboard to Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds that I did in 9th grade. The last gallery contains my pieces from my first year at Museum School.

At this time large neo-expressionist paintings were all the rage. So I did the tiniest pieces on eggshells based on Byzantine art. I also did paintings based on early American folk art. If that wasn't worse then I decided to explore myths and fairytales and make dolls.
