"I paint animals, birds and fish…these figures are almost, but not quite real. They seem very familiar to me - as if I had known them in my dreams or in my subconscious being. I would not be surprised if they seemed familiar to others also - as we are all connected in our deepest selves." - Jerry Wray

The Children's Stories Series is an outgrowth of the Dream Fragments Series.

Jerry would use a small mat to isolate parts of a Dream Fragments painting. When she found a composition, she would enlarge it to full size.
