Working on a series based on and incorporating letters my father wrote my mother during WW2 while stationed in the Pacific, I created this portrait of my paternal grandmother. In one of his letters, my father said he told his platoon that he had all the pin-up girls he needed; they were pictures of my mother – his girlfriend at the time, his mother, and his neice who was about 4 years old. I created portraits of all three for the series; each with imagery in the background and a slogan reminiscent of pin-up girl posters circa 1944-45 when he served.
The two stars represent two of her four sons who served during the War.
