Metamorphosis
Acrylic and charcoal on canvas, framed in wood
36x48”
I created this painting during the global pandemic in 2020. There was an odd, but welcoming stillness during that time amongst the stay-at-home orders that caused all of us to move at a slower pace than usual, amidst a great deal of uncertainty. In that, we were forced to confront things about ourselves and our society that are no longer working; no longer serving humans, animals, or the earth. It felt like we were being called to heal and rest in some way. The biggest failure will be if we do not come out of this changed… for the better. More appreciative of what we have, with a newfound understanding that we do not need much. More grateful, more kind, more present, more playful, more patient, more compassionate, more balanced. Transformed.
