Aunties Girls' Trip

I am a visual storyteller painting oral generational stories that have been past down through generations. These colorful stories of the past, and the amazing discoveries from my genealogical research has greatly influenced my works. The creative process of abstracting an oral generational story, reimagining it and then recreating it making it a whole new genre of art as a painting.

Aunties Girls' Trip is a depiction of a story that I heard when I was a child. It's about four of my father's adventurous sisters who decided to leave their husbands at home and venture out on a road trip out west. My Aunties were always a bit eccentric and would always share some of their most colorful stories with me. And so, here I have visualized and recreated their story of Aunties Girls Trip on canvas.
