Recent Projects during CoVid-19 keep me motivated and provide purposeful days. Drawing classes had to be postponed but Art and Science are big headlines in our world right now.

Art to Influence Change – Pre Election Work 2020
During these divisive times, words fly and the noise becomes toxic. Sometimes an image can make us laugh, calm us down and help us broaden our minds. There are images that break our heart and images that mend it. Artists have used images to impact change. The posters on the wall in Washington placed by peaceful protesters were collected by museums and art centers. Logos capture a concept or a message with a simple symbol.
After researching female activists, journalists and corruption fighters I used their stories and images to do a series of oil portraits on those that have paid the price of their work with their lives. It is not a complete list and frankly it is a daunting list of reporters, artists and ordinary citizens that are standing up for equality, or exposing corruption or the horrors of civil war. The video below is my work to honor just a few women from around the world who paid the ultimate cost. The project served two purposes. It gave me a chance to develop my skill with oil painting portraits, and it furthered my purpose and desire to use art for political change.
