For the past decade I have been working on a series of paintings involving the manipulation of children's drawings and paintings. With the addition of an adult perspective, such as depth, light source, and shading, a revision of the children's work is given a surreal quality with the help of a child's gestalt gesture. Many factors arise in the pieces as a result of this concept, such as the loss of innocence in the revisions and other psychological issues which become apparent to the individual viewer and especially the original young artist.
