As we moved through such extreme isolation during Covid, I felt the need to create images of love and tenderness. To see and be seen in a time when we all needed a more compassion and love. This lead to the inspiration of the series, “Love is Universal”. I have uploaded a portion of it here.
This series is more than an emotion of a hug. It’s about surrender, a safe place, and to be truly loved. More personal connections and more compassion that we all so need and crave.
I chose to create the paintings in shades of grey for a couple of reasons. I wanted to strip away the color and reveal the raw emotion of two people coming together. Life and human interaction is often many shades of grey.
The art is created on handmade mulberry paper with prisma-color colored pencils. The pieces are then sealed in wax.

This quote from Gene Roddenberry has always moved me.
In a very real sense, we are all aliens on a strange planet.
We spend most of our lives reaching out and trying to communicate.
If during our whole lifetime, we could reach out and really communicate with just two people.
We are indeed fortunate. —-Gene Roddenberry
