PLEASED TO HAVE BEEN CONTACTED BY REBECCA AT ARTRESIN. THANKS, REBECCA!

I've spent about 2-3 years exploring Resilience. Felt very timely last year and the news intruded into my studio conversations far more than what typically happens. The images of the paintings are stored digitally in a folder titled Resilience and the Feminine. Which sounds a bit pretentious really, but it is a fitting descriptor. All the paintings have allowed me to consider those who have come through harrowing lives and prospered in some fashion.  While painting women like Violet Jessop or Juliana Koepcke Diller, I started thinking about ways I'm trying on The Other's shoes and how aspects of the Feminine kept arising. Lately, it's the origins of resilience taking over so I've started looking at children playing and thinking about the difficulties I've had being a parent and allowing my daughters learn from their mistakes. 

Anyway, it was really kind of Rebecca/ArtResin to make the offer.

HERE IS THE PIECE I CREATED :
