In the annals of Art History, artists through out the ages have drawn or painted their self-portraits. The self-portrait has in many instances reflected the artist’s perception of themselves at a particular, frozen moment during their lives. They have tried to seal the moment of their reflections, about their youth, middle age, old age, moods, physical impressions, expressive renditions of who they think they were, becoming or wanted the world to view them how they wanted to be remembered. In this long, well-documented tradition, of artist self- portraits, I have joined their club, and have also tried to document moments of my life, my eyes, my personality, my hair, my expressions, my momentary, but intense life experiences that have fulfilled me or overwhelmed me with joy, sadness, disbelief, melancholy, or intense, inward moments of introspection.
