This painting is part of a series I call my “World of Is”. Within each person is a whole world of characters, personalities, emotions, and drives. This painting represents little “I”s, little parts of mine, each having an island of their own (à la The Little Prince) within me.

This painting is whimsical, yet somehow sad. They say no man is an island, yet we perpetually stand on islands of our selves, trying our best to connect and reach out and bridge, not just to each other, but to parts hidden deep within ourselves.
