SELF POOR TRAITS /

Over my years as a painter, often I made self portraits.  Like many painters when we are unable to access people to pose, we turn to painting ourselves to hone our skills and experience.   Over centuries artists’ self portraits have fascinated and “educated” onlookers.   Nowadays the “Selfie” is how everyone can look at themselves and present whatever Self they want to the masses.    It is the self portrait that still intrigues me.  My work and discussions around mental health opened up ideas and knowledge,  but also many questions to explore.
