A Portrait Full of Color

When I first started making art quilts I was inspired by color and my pieces reflected my love of color. Even my artist statement reflected my memories as a child placing two pieces of construction paper side by side and the excitement I felt in how the colors interacted. This piece was a refocus of sorts back to that original love of color. I think I’ll call her “Sista”, a suggestion from a friend. I used my airbrush to soften the edges of her braid and added the circles with acrylic paint to unify the piece.
