I wouldn't be the first one to feel personally damaged by recent political events. This past year in politics has been brutal for many- especially those who are more sensitive. At the root of that sensitivity lies compassion and empathy for those who were treated poorly and continue to be abused by our new president.
It was out of this sense of helplessness and disappointment that I created my newest painting- The Multifaceted Present Moment. I started without a clear plan- in the beginning it was just abstracted shapes. The very act of applying paint to canvas in circular motions began to move me from helplessness into action. Slowly, a city and figures emerged. A girl and two women. I strongly feel that positive change will in this world happen because of women. The crystal tower symbolizes the multifaceted aspect of all women. We are everything. We are the beginning and the end.
