Portrait of Darkness & Light

Charcoal & Mixed Media on Toned Paper, 11 x 13 in., 2021

As I spent more time at home during the pandemic, I found myself captivated by the beauty and strength of my children. The teenage years are undeniably complicated. I cannot imagine navigating the turbulent waters of our times within that transition - processing the loneliness of isolation, the home, and online schooling, the deaths of loved ones, and the looming threat of illness, all while witnessing the polarization of our nation. The resilience of our youth is beautiful.
