Symphony in Black: 100cmx80cm- acrylic paint, beads, and handmade flowers on canvas- March 2024

In the midst of this daily business of surviving, we need to take a moment to honor our pain: to mourn our dead, to let the darkness in, and the anger set, and the sadness envelop us like the night. Then, after we have felt every excruciating cell in our body burn and sear and boil over, we can breathe in, we can get up, and we can go on.
