While I was making these canvas paintings, the meaning of the words were predicting and manifesting synchronistically in my outer life.  The series of paintings seemed to reveal deep inner work.  Along with painting fields of color I was psychologizing: seeing through the words on clothing labels to the underlying poetry that seemed to magically connect to what was happening in my personal life.  While painting “Stretch” my work as a nurse morphed into risky and challenging new opportunities that morphed into even greater opportunities.  “Real Shell Buttons” evolved into “Real Shell” “Real Hell” and “Real” during a time of growth in an interdisciplinary art program.
