My current work celebrates the beauty and love I find everywhere: in a loved one’s smile; the camaraderie of siblings; sunrise walks along the intercostal waterway; looking out over the fields of my childhood home; and in creating Chakra mandalas -- beauty that evil and tragedy can’t erase. Through the darker themes of my early work, it is in the poignancy of the last exhausted effort to escape, the sad eyes of the seductress, and the vacant stares of the downtrodden. They mirror my youthful battles with depression and financial survival. Looking back, I wonder, if I’d had it easy, would I be filled with such overwhelming gratitude today? Would I still cherish the time left to me for its opportunities to express my continuing joy?
