This section of my website is for prosperity only as a resource for people with an interest in adoption art.
Originally I was very resistant to the idea that adoption ever affected me. I believed that only I could determined my future and my past had no bearing on who I was in the present. It wasn’t until my early 20’s that I started to realise that I may have been wrong and it wasn’t as black & white as I thought, that in fact being transracially adopted was part of what shaped me. To deny that was to deny who I am. You can read about [My Adoption Story].
I explored the very ideas of what constitutes a family, race, identity and diaspora. One of the stumbling blocks I have faced is that up until 2008, I only had my own point of view and felt that my work was becoming stagnate. I actively sort out & connected with other adoptees and others in the adoption communities. While I no longer do contemporary work, my understanding of the complexity of adoption with it’s many facets and perspectives grows daily as I have been privileged to continue to connect to people in the adoption community. I hope that you find the adoption art I’ve shared here thought provoking.
