Trying My Hand at Illustration Friday

Illustration Friday is an art blog where artists are given a word, then draw what they think of that word. This was recommended to me by my friend Kate. I thought I'd give it a try. This weeks' word is "Instinct."

I made a photo collage of the women on my Mom's side of the family, as Russian Matryoshka (nesting) dolls. I feel like instinct is something ingrained in you, learned from generation to generation. My Mom's side of the family also has strong ties to Rochester roots, so hence the lilacs of the "Flower City." And without further ado, here's my interpretation of "Instinct."
