Popcorn Tree series

Popcorn Tree 1, 30X30, Acrylic on canvas, 2015
The painting is about how I'm considered an old maid in the Mormon church. I am 32 still young, but there is that attitude. I am in old maid attire but I am with a chain saw. There is a children's song "Popcorn popping on the apricot tree." I am breaking with tradition and chopping down the popcorn tree. This is series. This is the first one.

The Golden Macaroni series

Golden macaroni was magical as a kid. It was also not beautiful for adults. Spirituality is kind of like golden macaroni. It really is beautiful but takes more than a first look.

Big Foot Series

Jonathan Edwards was a preacher who used to get people very passionate and emotional They would be in seixures by his sermons. I thought Big Foot would be funny than people.
