Life Beyond Us, 2019

My vision of how the earth will take back our man made buildings after humans have vanished. Thinking a lot about how we are destroying the planet and that it is inevitable that all creatures as well will die out without food and water to survive on. With the sun burning through, and the weather becoming more and more extreme, all species will eventually die out. The earth will then heal and renew, taking back what we left in our wake. And, like after the dinosaurs became extinct, a new form of life will emerge.

Thank you for viewing.

We All Live Here, Together

Let us all celebrate our differences, embrace who we love, and
unite in our uniqueness. We are of varied religions, region of ancestry, and
color of our skin.
We all share a very common link, we are all human beings.
Respect each other before we destroy one another.
Then what are we left with?

We are all in this together.

What would a world without us look like?

After us...

Thank you for your visit~!

Sing for Hope Piano, 2019

It was such a wonderful experience to be able to paint another Sing for Hope Piano this year! My theme this year:

WE ALL LIVE HERE, TOGETHER 

We all live here together, was created in response to the 2016 electionand its aftermath in our country, reflecting in our city. We have but one earth,all share this beautiful counrty, and reside in one of the greatest cities, New York.Together we need to overcome our differences and work towards a more enterprising future for all. The piano reflects a feeling of grittiness, a bit off kilter, the constant chaosof living here. All in a state of constant flux, ever-changing. The future feels a bit too close,and always in a state of evolution. 

It is such a wonderful program. They select 50 artists a year and provide them with a place to paint in, as well as all the supplies. This one is located in NYC, but I bet it will keep growing and extend into other cities. 

Sing for Hope Pianos

The Sing for Hope Pianos places artist-designed pianos throughout NYC’s parks and public spaces for anyone and everyone to play. Each summer, the pianos bring individuals and communities together in an open festival of art for all. After their time on the streets, Sing for Hope transports the instruments to NYC public schools, where they become hubs for Sing for Hope’s ongoing creative programs and enrich students’ lives for years to come.

Thank you for visiting!

Generations to come should be pissed!

What is our end plan for planet earth, and how can we possibly keep it from happening? 

From the series: No One Lives Here Anymore

 We need to stop mass consumption. We need to eliminate plastic from our packaging. We need to consider our children’s future, and their children’s. We cannot continue to live as if we have endless resources. We know that each year more animals become extinct. We wonder why bears are in our backyards, when in fact it is their homes we are encroaching in on.  The fish we eat are being poisoned by us, as are our vegetables we grow. We are poisoning our waterways, our oceans. We are simply killing ourselves off.

Where is our humanity? Our politicians do not care; they are mostly controlled by greed. Take all you can get, victims are an inevitability. Who are the watchdogs, where is the moral fiber?

Can we save ourselves? It is up to the next generation to put their foot down and demand that big businesses take responsibility for their greed. For taking over our waterways, to sell bottled water back to us, which should be watering crops down the river. For cheating the people who invest in mortgages, insurance, and end of life care. Where is the compassion, the decency? Does tuition need to be so expensive? Student loans so unforgiving?

What is our survival plan? Just keep on breathing, until it is no longer safe to take your next breathe.

Or...

Live in harmony with nature...

Journey to Barcelona, 2019

A wedding brought me to Barcelona this summer. Thankful for a reason to return to a city I had previously only spent a day in.  Below are some photos from this experience.  One thing I missed last time is seeing the Sagrada Família, designed by Gaudi. I did get to tour an apartment building he also designed on the previous trip. The roof had these wonderful chimneys that looked very alienesque.

The Sagrada Familia, begun in 1882, still under construction today.
