Southwest Abstractions: Social/Political Mixed Media Works
Following Meryl Streep's advice, quoting fellow actor Carrie Fisher, I've "taken my broken heart and made art." I've poured my heart into creating this mixed media series, "Preserving Democracy." The series celebrates what I hold dear and what I believe keeps our democracy strong: women and women's rights, civil rights, and, among other things, cultural diversity. Each of the mandala paintings are done in water-based mediums with collage elements --
photographic and/or design images -- mounted on canvas.
