          Work                      I had a feral child. She cared more for the pain



                                    of the world than she could bear Some knew her
                                    as the Girl in the Green Coat. Each painting in
                                    this series incorporates remnants of her green
                                    coat. Family Constellations speaks to how our
                                    ancestors experiences and traumas can affect future
                                    generations.



                                    Composed of old family papers and the lining of
                                    the green coat, the patches and textures represent
                                    the culmination of our ancestors old wounds and
                                    experiences that contribute to our psyche.




                                    The colorful background trails represent the
                                    threads of ancestral spirits that contribute to the
                                    fabric of who we are. All Ways has 20 patches of the
                                    green coat equating to the Angel #20 which reminds
                                    us to be diplomatic, considerate and kind to others.
                                    The four sides of the square are symbolic of the four
                                    elements, earth, fire, water and air and ground us
                                    here in the physical realm.
