reparation series 2021*

The Black Lives Matter era has woke me up anew to the importance and challenges of making art as a white ally. Here is a renewed attempt at honoring Native American and African American cultures without hopefully inappropriately appropriating them. As an artist and lover of art, I make a commitment to breaking my pattern of primarily representing the previously dominant white culture that I grew up in -- as a white ally I expand my vision and open my mind. Also it is a gesture of personal reparation for the historical lack of representation that has existed in our art museums and in my work. I apologize if I offend any persons of color -- I realize I will make mistakes in my attempt at reparations (repair).

children

I love to bring children and childhood into my work. Having raised six kids, I am particularly drawn to wonderment around being a child -- probably because I simply missed the experience of my own children due to being overwhelmed with that amount of responsibility.
