The Lucky Love Chronicles is a series of paintings exploring orphaning, adoption, and girlhood, through the vehicle of a well-known Chinese Taoist myth.

Inspired by Chinese fable, more recently -the literature of Mo Yan, and of course by the adoption of my own daughter from an orphanage in Szechuan province, I hope that you will enjoy the images and the sometimes outlandishly fantastical text that accompanies them.
