The Women

This piece of artwork is special to me for many reasons. In the fall of 2020 Covid was hitting everywhere, and I lost a job that I loved. The kind of job where you smile when you wake up in the morning knowing you’ll see the many faces that bring joy to all. Isolated and depressed I signed up for online literature courses and took long walks with my mask on, of course. In early 2021 I began to draw again. I hadn’t picked up an artist tool for many years. I have always been drawn to faces, especially eyes. These images of The Women began to appear on paper. I would draw one, then another and another.  They were all single images that I colored in bright reds, blues, and yellows. I was coming back to life in the midst of chaos in the outside world. This was a significant transition for me. My creativity opened another door back into the world of art and life.

The Women represent the beauty that manifests itself through the light that women bring into this world.
