Duvall Kids

Artist’s Statement:

"There is something that rings true to me when I look at these kids, whom I choose to paint. They remind me of my own, forgotten about until now, experiences when I was this age. This series explores the fear, confusion, burgeoning confidence and hope at this time of of their lives."
