'Ripples of Uncertainty' - oil 40"x30"

'Ripples of Uncertainty' - oil 40"X30"

Emotions were running at an elevated level during the spring of 2020 with Covid-19 all around us and our nerves were unhinged. The surrounding blue water is usually calm, still, and visually a place to relax the mind but at this moment displayed energy with ripples and confusion. Each movement in the water represented a family in a distraught time of their lives. I painted this image to represent all families and their challenges as well as to calm my nerves during my ‘quarantined’ time.

'Mom's Glasses - Losing Clarity' - oil - 23"x40"

This was the moment I realized my mother's Alzheimer's had fully set into a 'reality' of not turning back.  We were rushing into a business meeting and she could not decipher as to which glasses were the appropriate ones to choose - confused but determined, she was 'losing clarity' of her life. My beautiful mother Norma, a classy and brilliant business woman was losing her dignity. Each pair of glasses is a reflection of her life and tells its own story. I witnessed, I experienced, and I cried, but it wasn't about me...it was about her.  This painting is dedicated to my mother Norma and those suffering from Alzheimer's and their families.
