Mom with her Honda

In Mom with her Honda, I revisited a specific chapter of my childhood and the 1990s. While she owned many motorbikes, this 'Cub 78'—as she called it—is the first one that truly anchors my memories. Painting her, I realized she was around my current age at that time. Although we were still struggling financially, this bike was a tangible symbol of her career progression and the upward mobility of the working class during that era. I wanted to capture not just her 90s style, but the quiet pride of a woman beginning to do well for herself.
