Acrylics
"Stand Up" June 2020, acrylic paint on canvas board and collaged photo transfer, 14x20. Inspired by Black Lives Matter protests.
"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 my journey through the 2020 Pandemic doesn't make sense.
"Look" 12x9" Acrylic on canvas board, July 2020. The layers of textures and colors represent happy times in the midst of uncertainty. I like the yellow because it doesn't make sense. Just like so much during the 2020 Pandemic doesn't make sense. I have created more meaningful work in the last four months than I have in any other period of my life while working full-time. It doesn't make sense...
"Crossing Borders" 12x9" Acrylic on canvas board, July 2020. This was completed during the 2020 Pandemic. It is inspired by those who forge ahead during uncertain times.
"Wait" 12x12" Acrylic on canvas board, July 2020. This artwork was completed during the 2020 Pandemic. It is inspired by the frustration of waiting for the unknown.
"To Plant a Garden is to Believe in Tomorrow" 12"x12" May 2020. This artwork was completed during the 2020 Pandemic, inspired by the 2020 graduates who had the most unusual end of the school year.
"To Plant a Garden is To Believe in Tomorrow #2" 8x8" May 2020. This artwork was completed during the 2020 Pandemic, inspired by the 2020 graduates who had the most unusual end of the school year.
"Face the Sun #2" 12x12" 2012
"Face the Sun #1" 12x12" 2012
"Hope" 12x9" April 2020. This artwork was completed during the 2020 Pandemic, inspired by my journey during the first month of Shelter in Place orders.
"Amazing Grace" 12x9" April 2020. This artwork was completed during the 2020 Pandemic, inspired by my journey during the first month of Shelter in Place orders.
"Still Life 11.2020" is inspired by the quiet moments, the lessons learned and the blessings celebrated during the 2020 Pandemic.
