Family Circle … This piece celebrates family - great for reunions, anniversaries, and a special time like Valentines or Mother’s/Father’s Day.

It was originally commissioned to celebrate a 30th wedding anniversary. I used a variety of torn circles from decorative papers to represent the circle of life, the ebb and flow of life and the generations. The bottom shape could be suggesting a womb or a path.
