_______________________________ “The State of Hope” The pieces in this show were created during Oregon’s Stay-at-Home order to help stop the spread of COVID-19 in 2020, which plunged us all into a new way of navigating daily life. I dove into making art every day as a way to deal with my fear of what was happening and might still happen, and as a way to fight off isolation and boredom. I turned to my online community of other artists, friends, family and intimate strangers. We shared bits of our hearts and lives through screens, as we socially distanced and watched the numbers of Americans who died of COVID climb to more than 500,000 by June, 2021. This “State of Hope'' mixed media painting features many amazing women who work so hard to make the world a better place including artists, mothers, musicians, social justice and climate activists, farmers and politicians. You will likely recognize some of them. I’ve used acrylic paint and image transfers on tissue paper to make the stripes of the flag. Historically, the blue of the flag represents vigilance, perseverance and justice. I have left the stars off to symbolize how divided America was over the 2020 presidential election. The other flag art in the show was made as a response to the question “how does the American flag make you feel?” to my friends, family and social media community. Some of these answers are featured here on the gallery wall, and I invite viewers to write out their own short answers on pieces of red, white and blue paper and attach them to the magnetic white board. The other paintings in this show reflect my emotional journey through the year 2020. I didn’t have words for what I was painting at the time, but as I stepped back to look at them after many months of creating, the themes bubbled right up off the paintings. |
“Loch Ness Monster Eating the Titanic” - (shown above) Loosely based on the 2020 Presidential debates, whereJoe Biden was referred to as the Loch Ness Monster, lurking in and Donald Trump was seen as unsinkable by many. Here, the two battle it out in the open sea.
“COVID on a Trojan Ship” Painted in 2020, as the COVID Pandemic was going global. Conspiracy theories started circulating - was it real, or a hoax? Was wearing a mask necessary? The political circus of the U.S. Presidential election added fuel to the fire, as death rates continued to climb, we are left to wonder what might have been, if our leadership had been more aggressive to stop the spread sooner. “A New Beginning” As the world grappled with a global pandemic and staying at home became the norm, we started to see the importance of empathy and kindness to help us feel connected to our own humanity. We moved through the darkness of fear to hope for a new beginning. “North Winds of Hope” As the year 2020 came to an end and the vaccine was looking promising, the winds of hope began to blow around the world. “Sacred Guitar” For many of us, the COVID 19 pandemic was frightening and devastating to our personal, professional and community lives. And yet, through the arts, music and technology we were still able to come together and connect, and help each other through it.
