Themes

“Greetings from the New World” – A Covid Diary

When the world stopped in Spring 2020 the Covid Diary began. Isolated together within the pandemic, painting became my coping mechanism. This series was intended to visually report, reflect, and transcend the hurt and confusion playing out within us all. The Covid-19 story is not done. I still paint.

  • Hello

    We learned that possibly bats and pangolins or pigs in Wuhan had spread the virus to humans; some surmised it was an escaped Bio Weapon. In America we were advised to social distance and greet each other by tapping elbows. Masks were optional at the beginning.

  • The Air Cleared

    Sequestered and sheltered in place, cars were parked and planes were grounded. The air cleared.

  • Easter Surprise

    We were told by President Trump, the virus was “no big deal, just like the flu”, and by Easter all would be over.

  • Reinforcements

    NYC was in crisis and called for medical reinforcements. Nurses traveled throughout the land, lending their hands and hearts.

  • Comfort

    Hospital beds were in short supply in NYC and the Navy sent the S.S. Comfort to New York City’s harbour.

  • Shelter In Place

    We learn how lethal and contagious the Coronavirus is and are asked to shelter in place to limit infecting each other.

  • No Shelter In Place

    How will the homeless safely ‘shelter in place’ and wash their hands?

  • Elders Shelter In Place

    The virus spreads like wildfire through congregate settings. Many of our elders reside in these homes.

  • Water Hands Wash

    In the age of Covid we come to understand the privilege and preciousness of having clean water.

  • Cages

    The virus spreads through our immigrant and undocumented communities and within prisons and through detention centers at our boarders; places where social distancing remains impossible.

  • Stepping Up

    Covid-19 exposes everything. The disparaging commodity of systematic racism's toll on people of colors bodies begins to be understood. We have an opportunity to raise each other up and out of these toxic systems.

  • The Faithful

    Angels no longer bound to fundamentalist ideologies are now free to heal anyone.

  • The Dreamers

    Sentient beings work interdimensionally to bring healing.

  • The Keepers

    In Indigenous communities, with many people dying, shamans turn to ceremonies and ancient remedies found within medicinal plants for healing.

  • Whos Breath

    George Floyd is murdered by the Police in Minneapolis. We collectively gasp. America is pulled apart.

  • Church And State

    Trump clears peaceful protestors away with tear gas so he can safely stand near a historic house of worship and hold a bible upside down, while calling for law and order.

  • Say Their Names

    John Lewis dies. His funeral becomes a requiem for social justice. We would learn, morn, and remember together.

  • Migrant Workers

    This painting honors our migrant farm workers who too are unduly affected by the virus. We come to understand what and who is essential.

  • Pants On Fire

    Social Activism brings communities together. Ignited and fueled by George Floyd’s murder, many take to the streets protesting the inequities birthed in the halls of systematic racism. The 2020 Presidential elections are upon us.

Fly Rhymes With Lie

A fly lands on VP Pence’s head during the VP debates as he was explaining to the country that “there is no systematic racism in America”.

Finally I had a metaphor and outlet for painting the absurdities perpetuated by the Trump Presidency. And the ‘Fly’ series was born.

Give me A Kiss I Can Really Feel

The hardest thing about living within the age of Covid-19 is not being able to gather together or hug. These paintings express my longing for the simple things: A kiss. A hug. Even a hand shake.
