| Epigenetic History, © 2015 Sheryl Karas |
Epigenetic refers to the altering of DNA that is carried from trauma your ancestors experienced. I rarely go dark in my artwork in terms of emotional content but sometimes that's just the truth. At the time I painted this I was very frustrated and upset about my art career and the choices I could see available to me for a career of any sort. So I started this painting but then put it aside. Then my father died and I had a dream about his heritage that was affecting me -- a similar cultural heritage to the artist Marc Chagall who is also an influence in this work. He also rarely went dark in his paintings . . . but sometimes he did. So I continued. I was never happy with it though. So I took a photo, scanned it into my computer and made alterations and additions in Photoshop.
The original painting is gone but
framed or unframed prints or prints on canvas or metal are available.
