Emails are great but when someone takes the time to scratch out a message and mail you a card, you know they care. Sometimes receiving a card is more important than the words inside and, right now in the midst of the pandemic, that might just be the best thing you can do for another person.

Installation: Last Apartment
When I live with a painting, I form a relationship with the artist and the piece. I choose pieces that move me, inspire me, surprise me, or, I just can't leave behind. I have lots of paintings by other artists that do that for me on my walls. I hope my pieces do that for you. If not, I hope you keep searching. The artist is out there for you.

Last Apartment, an installation exhibited at ArtPrize 2018 illuminates my conflicting feelings over my mother's move from independence in her last apartment to an early dementia facility. I admired her indomitable spirit, endless energy and sometimes reckless pursuit of her dreams but mourned her increasing confinement by limitations, both real and imagined.
