Artist Statement
It’s up to you to complete this picture, decide if you want to be plain or fancy – wear long sleeve or short sleeve, skirt or pants? It doesn’t matter what your skin tone is or what your gender is – it doesn’t matter – we are all perfect in our own way and everybody can fit in – and fit into this painting. Come on - take a pic! This painting is designed to be interactive. Hanging from the ceiling away from the wall, children are encouraged to stand behind the painting and perhaps get a picture taken of themselves with the painting. This artwork is inspired by the "photo boards" which are popular in Myrtle Beach in which you stick your face through a hole in a large board to become part of a character.
