SOLIDARITY
SERIES

I created this series for MOSAIC 2025: a juried show at 171 Cedar Arts Center in Corning, NY.​

​

Right now the world seems on the verge of environmental and societal collapse. Countries have become war zones—we have lost our humanity to a culture that buries the innocent and worships power.

​

Each painting in this series relates stylistically to the others. Shapes reminiscent of figures are in conversation and conflict with each other. With color and line I have tried to convey the unease and discomfort of choosing to turn toward rather than away. Each painting can stand alone. But there is power in their shared community.

​

We cannot bring about systemic change individually; we must orient our hearts toward our neighbors. Our survival depends on humans finding a way to trust and care for each other.
