Uncertain Times!

A lot has happened since my last post! I have participated in several art shows and still been very busy creating new work! I have also been making pieces for art shows that have now been postponed or have uncertain futures due to the corona virus! I hope you and yours stay safe in this horrible outbreak! I am thankful that I have a home studio to work in and create because I can totally get lost in what I am doing and lose track of all the craziness going on! Once again we are endangering ourselves partly because we will not take better care of the earth and her environment! I am not happy with our leader who started out calling this outbreak a hoax and minimizing its potential for death, sickness, and disruption!! Once again he has proven his ignorance! I could go on about this for a long time but I won't for now!
        Here are some of the artworks I have been working on! Hope they might brighten your day!

 This is "A voice for the voiceless no matter the cost" and is made from gourds and epoxy clay on a board. I spent over 100 hours on this and was at first trying to make a tribute to all the wildlife rehabbers and protectors. Then I was so upset to find that 2 men involved in protecting monarchs in Mexico were murdered and this became more about the wildlife warriors that have given their lives!

This piece is "Cosmic Tiger Moon" made from a gourd and epoxy clay! After these two projects my joints were worn out from sculpting so I took some time to paint instead!

 These are done with charcoal and acrylic ink on wood panels.
So stay well everyone and let's get through this with compassion and kindness!
