Q8. Biggest Pet Peeve?

A9.I dont remember really having one really. Helpful answer! 

Q10. Is there any toy you really wanted as a kid but was never given? Did you ever buy it for yourself when you got older?
A10. I didn’t really go without, I remember one year I wanted a Sylvanian Families mansion which seemed like a ridiculous request AND I GOT IT. And then my sister put the stairs from the mansion in my bed and I sat on them and broke them. 

Henrietta’s portraits caught my eyes as their distorted profiles and faces appear to be unraveling. The layers and thoughts of the subject not just held behind the eyes, but stretched across the canvas. I love her use of color, although I’d refrain from calling it subtle its far from assaulting. One can always ask the artist what their thoughts are behind the work they create, but I’d much rather interpret it for myself. What situations are you left in unraveling, processing, falling apart, or the world seems to be moving so fast in front of you; you’re seeing the world and yourself blur together?
