Time Capsule Series
The Time Capsule series is a tribute to the beloved toy still lifes that I would set up in my art room. The toys represented within these pieces are from my own children along with special toys from own my childhood. In addition, some of the toys were donated to room 191 through the years or inadvertently left behind by my former students. These toys in turn became a part of this lifelong collection of toys that were taken care of, stored, depicted in many works and at times, continued to be played with. The toys and books in paintings hold many special memories of different times in my life. As a result, when a friend mentioned to me that the paintings reminded her of time capsules, I decided to title them as such. The Time Capsule series is also dedicated to my former students who observed, sketched, drew and painted the challenging and at times, massive toy stills lifes in the art room.
