Self-portrait series : [an honors thesis (HONRS 499)]

These paintings represent a series that began as a clear idea to integrate self-portrait with tarot cards. After completing a ten-card spread and reading, I began to draw upon the cards as issues for me to work on in my paintings. What began simply, and at times unsuccessfully began to take on a life of its own near the end and turned into a series that, I feel, is no longer conherent to the viewer as a series but as a record of artistic growth. I am pleased with the results either way.Paintings:The Minor ArcanaFour of Wands - PerfectionSeven of Cups - Illusions of Success Six of Cups - Happiness Seven of Wands - CourageThe Major ArcanaThe High Priestess The Moon The UniverseThe Court CardsPrincess of Swords.Honors CollegeThesis (B.?.
