Life’s Story (self-portrait)

Life's Story is a response to a self-portrait, The Green Dress, the artist painted as a student 40 years ago. Cameron explained, "With a lifetime of experience, Life’s Story mirrors the composition of my earlier work but carries the weight of years. It is a self-portrait of an older woman who has lived, observed, and felt deeply. If The Green Dress captured the innocence of youth, this piece expresses the wisdom, weariness, and depth that come with age. It is more than a moment; it holds a lifetime within it."
