In my original oil on canvas paintings, I have the unique opportunity to share the expression of my thoughts and feelings about current times through the transformative aspect of visual art. I have always believed that my paintings support positive change and can have healing power. Rather than documenting a particular place, I seek to distill emotion, expression and essence on the canvas. My Spirit Rising Series was created in response to our turbulent times. I have always loved Maya Angelou’s poetry and her poem, “Still I Rise”, resonates with me on a very personal level. As a tribute to this poem and its importance in these difficult times, I created these paintings as an expression of rising hope for humanity, hope for the future and hope for positive change.
