My Ancestors and their stories
Named for her great-grandmothers, Patty and Christiena, matriarchs and
patriarchs of her family tree have lived around the artist since her birth. She is a direct descendant of two women convicted in the Salem Witch Trials, a soldier who disappeared during the battle of Waterloo, a pioneer midwife who delivered 3,977 babies, a soldier who earned 4 battle stars in the Great War and a baker in Wyoming who extended hospitality to the Japanese Americans incarcerated at Heart Mountain Internment Camp during WWII. Painting them is her way of giving thanks for their legacy
