Somebody commented how they enjoyed my "Face" series in Ultra Fractal, and it made me think how it started. My mother was developing Alzheimer's, and she got in a bad state, very depressed and anxious. I got the idea of creating a series to uplift her, give her joy. Cute little caracters in UF. As her problems increased and I got sick with worry and anxiety, not feeling like creating, I would still push myself to create another image to make her smile; it became my mission for her.

As her illness is progressing, she doesn't have an interest in art anymore, and has moved on to simpler things, like pictures of cats, adorable animals and family pictures. But this series has taken a life of it's own, I have so much inspiration for it; I guess that I'm doing it for me now. I'm also learning a lot from it, creating more challenging shapes, more colours in the irises...

And I'm sending her tons of beautiful photos of animals.
