Artist Statement

The title of my series is I Love You to Death. The use of soft colors are meant to draw the viewer in for a closer look, revealing the message of cute and cuddly, but deadly.

I use the child as a metaphor to represent real life mothers that have killed their children in factual criminal cases.

My painful memories of growing up with a bi-polar mother compels me to bring light to the subject matter of filicide.
