When I first started working on my 2015 Hat Collection, back in April of 2015, I began by just sketching drawing and painting a number of hats. Continuing my ongoing thought that hats could be metaphorical representations of people. During the organizational process and staring at each one, the idea that we all wear a number of “hats” in our daily lives. So I was off and running. I sketched over 100 of the same hat style in various colors. Which ended up being 2 pieces. The background was to be a subtle colorful urban feel with the hats we wear as the stars of the piece. Life is complicated, every day, week or month one person wears a lot of hats.
