Exploring the Looking Glass






Exploring the Looking Glass, 30x40 oil on gallery wrapped linen... This painting was done as an expression of my own confusion and lack of understanding about death. With the death of my sister and the myriad of recent deaths around me, I have been contemplating what actually happens after death... is there existence? And if so, what is it? So many views, so many beliefs, none of which can be proven one way or another. Maybe there is no other option but to mindfully abide in the mystery.

Borrowed Strength

Borrowed Strength, oil on linen... this painting was done soon after we learned that my baby sister was suffering with stage 4 lung cancer. It felt as though the family became one unit, sharing each others strength and holding one another up.
