Yellow Shadow
Ready to hang - no frame necessary.
"Yellow Shadow" 12x9" July 2020. The black lines and cool blocks of colors were inspired by Chagall's stained glass windows in Chicago's Art Institute. The yellow shadow is a form that doesn't make sense, just as so much of our journey through the 2020 Pandemic doesn't make sense.

Not Lemonade
Metal print of gelli plate mono print and acrylic paint. Not Lemonade was inspired by a Zoom conversation with an art student who lives in Naples Italy. It was April 2020, during the Corona Virus pandemic. The lemon trees were blooming that week in Naples so I started a series based on lemons and the idea of what lemons might represent during this unprecedented time.
