Born with the soul of an artist and nurtured by my drive to explore the world and the human spirit . As a young adult I turned my attentions towards the culinary arts. It provided an outlet for creativity while providing for my material needs.As the years went by I came to realize that I was, in part ,denying the artist within due to fear and not wanting to be my mother's competitor.After escorting my mother through her end of life journey as her primary caregiver I came to realize that life is short and precious and I could no longer deny what and who I am. I am an Artist. An explorer . A lover of life .
It was , somewhere , within our inner knowing that this so called man trump would wreak havoc upon on us . Upon our democratic rule of law and attempt unethical deals with our adversaries but THIS ?
It made me heartsick . I am , for the first time , feeling a deep disgust and an unwillingness to forgive those that chose this .
I cheer with all of my heart , mind and soul for the new European alliance . I wish to join them . The love for humanity , the integrity and strength of character as well as actions is inspired . It is filled with possibility . And it is filled with courage . All so lacking in the american president and his coconspirators .
I stand with Europe . I stand for freedom . And I stand with the rule of law .
In the creative process I am transformed and this piece I feel it is especially evident . It had a bit of a roughg start and as I layered colors and in some areas removed color it came to life beautifully .
