Dream Big

acrylic on canvas

Don’t let your size keep you from reaching your dreams.
The symbolism in this piece broken down:
The small dog – the determined person.
The stilts– how they are going to level the playing field.
The Paintings – the standard of admiration.

Now What

Immigration, Migration, or Colonization. What do we do when someone new shows up, and what will they do?
So, whether by choice or not, when people end up some place new, what will happen next? History has shown that sometimes the strangers are welcomed with open arms and other times they are chastised and discriminated against. Yet there are times in history that has shown us it is the new comer that is the aggressor.
I froze the moment in time just before each side makes their chose on how they are going to react to each other. Even though I used symbolism based on the European move to the Americas, it still transcends time and place. Because it sits at the heart of human nature and in truth, we are all the same regardless of our differences.
The symbolism in this piece broken down:
The Horse – Reflects on when the first Europeans landed on the shores of
North America. The horse was not indigenous to the continent and was later introduced, making it the perfect animals to symbolize the newcomer.
The Deer – Since I used North America as the base, the deer represents the people who are already occupying the land. Deer is indigenous to the area.
The Boat – Is used to represent the travels the newcomers had to make in order to reach the new area.
Sidenote about the Deer and Horse;
Both are four legged, short haired, herbivores who travel in herds, making them very similar and requiring similar resources. However, they are still very different.

Still Life
April 2020
acrylic on canvas
24 x 16 in
The day the world stopped and retreated inside. There were no storm clouds on the horizon, no angry mobs in the streets, and no war was taking place. Yet we closed ourselves into our homes and took shelter. Some out of fear, others did so for hope that all would not be lost to a virus.
The child's toy horse is to represent the carefree joy that we left behind on the day we sheltered in place. 3/19/2020
