Title or Location: Lunch Counter/ Madrid Spain
Went to Spain for 2 weeks a year ago. While thrilled to see the work of Velasquez, Goya, Microsoft and Picasso, it was a treat to be part of everyday life there. This was a scene I photographed at an enormous Farmers Market. The color of the bread caught my eye. Madrilenos have wine with lunch. So civilized.

In it I wanted combined the Japanese cultural esthetic of Kawaii and against a slightly dark post-apocalyptic theme and background. The girl is young and dressed in a "cute" gym outfit with matching pink hair, gloves and shoes. She exudes a slight air of "innocence" which is at odds with the background showing collapsed b

Title or Location: Quiet Desperation
This painting/illustration was created for my Art Therapy course taken at Edinboro University. The directive was to create a picture with words that described both sadness and hope. Watercolors seemed a fluid medium to use in expression of sad emotions. While the lettering of calligraphy showed hope. The quote from Henry David Thoreau about quiet desperation and verses from Amy Grant's Everybody Needs a Helping a Hand seemed a perfect balance. This is one of my favorite Art Therapy projects.
