Peace—Posibilities (full size)
mix-medium on canvas
24x48 inches
2005
I created the Peace—Possibility series in response to September 11th, believing that we can find hope in times of tragedy and turmoil if we can open our hearts. Life is fascinating, and we can enhance our imagination and our wish for life if we work to explore the beauty of our world. I paint the moments that capture me the beautiful and the painful. The power of any moment, if experienced fully, can make me cry, and then I paint. I hope that these paintings convey a connection between nature and humanity. In this dark time I express hope, forgiveness, compassion, and love, in ambition of the peace I believe is possible.
