The Story Behind the Hancock Park Sister Series
The Hancock Park Sister Series was the first complete group, a body of work that marked a serious departure from earlier paintings made throughout graduate school (1999-2001). They were first exhibited in the fall of 2003 at a solo exhibition in Los Angeles (Solway Jones Gallery). I continued to develop more paintings in the series after the first exhibition, and two years later showed the second half of the Sisters at the same gallery, also in the fall (2005). I learned a lot from this body of work, and produced a catalogue for the entire series, entitled Re-Make / Re-Model, after the Roxy Music album of the same title.

Repeater #31 and Hancock park #7 are my favorites. Great work.

My most favored of your body of work. I recall a painting from this series was on a wall in your house. I begged and pleaded for it. Now, about 5 years later, I have this incredibly beautiful and decorated home. Funny thing is it could be that much better with the painting.
Is any of it for sale or have they all been given their own incredibly beautiful and obviously well decorated home?
