LITERARY MICE
An art collection for a personal show at a café in ATX, painted with watercolor and ink on a canvas prepared from the pages of books about mice that I've read and loved from childhood to now. Stories about mice who overcome the odds continue to resonate with me because bravery doesn't depend on size, nor does strength of will, friendship, or heart. Also, tiny things are adorable.
