I look at You Look at Me represents my belief that art making is a child’s first ‘literacy’ which opens doors to other forms of literacy.  A photo was taken of me standing next to a young girl’s painting.  The secondary colours featured in the girl’s self-portrait are mirrored in my portrait of me.

The dormancy of winter, where I grew up, is illustrated North Dakota Prairie.  Much after-hours time was spent indoors, at home or at school, where jam sessions took place around the piano, and artworks were created.
