My work expresses the relations between humans and the earth. My paintings reveal war and peace in the ancient tradition of portraying The Garden of Paradise.
Message
Things that Fall from Above __ war in 'The Garden of Paradise'.
My statement about our ongoing abuses of war and in response to what is happening in Ukraine. I listened to music by Kalush while working on this painting. Dropping bombs on a theatre where women and children were sheltering and we watched. It is hard now watching this all online but I grew up during the Vietnam War which was called 'the living room war'.
