Finally getting back to painting, after a very long and difficult move to another country, I have posted some of my favorite paintings from the past years with people. Hope you enjoy. To see my latest works go to the Paintings fresh off the easel tab.

Peace Dove
June 2022
acrylic on canvas
25 x 47 in
For Peace and war cannot occupy the same space. War must burn out it's fire before peace can return. Up and out of the ashes much like a phoenix, Peace has risen to spread harmony, kindness, balance, and prosperity.
I used a young woman of mixed race to represent the peace dove (a common symbol of peace) because peace resides in acceptance and tolerance. What could be more pure existence of acceptance than creating a new life from differences.
The use of symbolism in this piece I borrowed from Christianity and Greek Mythology in regards to body posture, the gold / silver metallic aura and the ashes / destruction.
Side note: This painting received recognition from the Luxemburg National Museum. The young lady who posed for me was my intern. This was also the last painting I did in Savannah with a person.

Pandora's Hope
August 2020
acrylic on canvas
24 x 32 in
Inspired by the story of Pandora’s Box, this painting is from the perspective of Hope before the box was opened. Showing that with Hope, strength resides in quiet and calm confidence that adversity and tragedy will pass and can be conquered.
I chose a young girl to represent Hope because children are humanity’s hope of the future and little girls grow up to become women to bring forth more children, more Hope.
Side note: this painting won two awards, one in the US and one in Luxemburg.
