Wow! I am so honored to have been selected as the top six out of over 175 artists at the Rockland Arts Virtual Festival. I am humbled because I didn’t really believe it was a possibility for me. I couldn’t have done it without the help of all those wonderful souls who have been supporting me throughout my artist journey.

Our reward for winning is that the Rockland Arts Festival will market us each throughout their various platforms. The promotional video that they created for me is below.

Featured Art: Evergreen

in , , ,

My painting Evergreen was accepted into the Rockland Virtual Arts Festival from April 1 - 30, 2021. As part of my participation, I created a video that lasted less than two minutes describing my painting. Here I talked more about the process than the feelings involved. You can watch the video below. It is on the Rockland Arts Festival Youtube channel.

What got cut out of the video is the meaning behind the painting. I use a lot of my representational work as metaphors for my feelings, experiences, and opinions. Evergreen is about our inner strength. It’s about our ability to go through the harshest of times, all the while discovering the inner strength that helps us to make it through.
