Lifting: Floating Blue Clouds Print - Limited Edition of 10

I began this series called "Lifting" just after the pandemic. The country and the world were in such turmoil. I felt myself needing to connect to others and to something greater, something unifying. The sky, earth, and nature became my solace and lead me to create artwork that would hopefully illicit the same emotions for viewers. The feelings of joy, tranquility, balance, and connectedness. I chose to begin with a monotype on paper followed by layers of acrylic paint depicting universal shapes and subject matters. By doing so I tried to relate to the earth, natural elements, and familiar forms, which would then connect us to one another and would offer up beauty and hope.
