Nine Months
This is a series I began during my pregnancy with my son Noah, most of which I was in my last semester of college. Months 1-5, and the piece entitled, "Just Lettin all that Go" compiled 95% of my Senior Exhibition. Months 1-5 were all created over an 11 day peroid.
This series was a conceptual and stylistic breakthrough for me, and all of my future work stems from this series.

The newest work, Months 6-9 are still in progress and all began in 2011.
