Works On Paper
​

​REPETITION AND REFLECTION ​Watercolor The Covid-19 pandemic is affecting all of our lives. During the quarantine I spent a lot of time in my studio trying to make work about the pandemic. I painted accumulation, confusion, clusters, barriers and repetition. I painted my emotions as meditation and reflection.- trying to stay out of the way, maintain balance and let it flow.

“When we heard about the hippies, the barely more than boys and girls who decided to try something different ... we laughed at them. We condemned them, our children, for seeking a different future. We hated them for their flowers, for their love, and for their unmistakable rejection of every hideous, mistaken compromise that we had made throughout our hollow, money-bitten, frightened, adult lives.” June Jordan, Passion $300
"When I met her she was an angel and she still is. I was supposed to be strong, but I found out I'm the weak one. “We were gonna live together and die together that was our plan," he said. The husband of a woman killed in the El Paso shooting has invited the community to attend her funeral as he has no other family in town. From current news story on BBC
