Ilouay: Tenai

Acrylic paint on canvas

20" x 24"

April, 2000


While away at my first year of college at UCSC I was miserable 90% of the time, so when Mother's Day rolled around and I asked her what she wanted, she said, "Do something that makes you happy," and I painted this. This led me to reconsider my goals and I applied to art school, not because I thought I was good, but because it made me happy. The rest is history.
