Live, Laugh

In 2019 I had the sense that all was not well.  My keenly sensitive and aware young child had been making comments about some of her concerns with our environment.

Although I wasn't yet aware of it at that time, this was the start of a new series of paintings for me titled 'Disappearing Landscapes".

Disappearing Landscapes - 'Disappearing Waters'

This painting was inspired by my daughter's dream of moving to Hawaii when she grows up. She was twelve years old at the time. She was deeply concerned about the environment and the state of our planet. Her biggest fear was that by the time she had the freedom to move, Hawaii might not be the beautiful place she had imagined. We remain hopeful that she will see her dream come true.
