"Brewing a Cup of Discontent"

Quiet reflection is not always passive; sometimes it is where resistance begins. Holding a steaming cup of collective unrest. she sits with her dissatisfaction—not to wallow, but to ignite change.

Original acrylic painting on Canson archival 100% cotton heavy weight paper mounted on a wooden panel. It's ready to hang by the attached picture wire on the back. The dimensions are: 11" x  8.5" x 1"

Each of my paintings is a collection of under paintings. I build up layers of paint and texture before I introduce a figure. This provides a rich backdrop for the image to live on. It also helps me to mentally prepare for the story I'm about to tell.

The symbols I use create a pictorial language that I share with my audience. Each piece is a unique expression of my response to my inner world and the world around me.
