ABOUT: 
My Kitchen is part of the "dear Merritt" series.  It's is an exhibition of small oil paintings, standing only 5” x 7”.  The oil paintings are delicately painted miniatures inspired by the artist’s remembrance of her childhood in lieu of the birth of her first child, a daughter named Merritt.  Each jewel-like painting excavates visual queues of seminal moments in the artist’s upbringing as viewed through the lens of childhood, and re-remembered as an expectant parent.  All the tiny details within this painting - the plastic salt and pepper shakers, the wooden island (which still stands in the center of her parent's kitchen today) and screaming linoleum tile stand as warm reminders of a bygone era.
