Global Humanity

After years of working with generations of children and families who had experienced the trauma and upheaval of immigration to the U.S., and knowing the reverberations that can last for generations, I had a profound reaction to the separation and caging of thousands of children at our southern border in 2018. As time has passed, genocide and mass migrations around the world continue to concern me. Although all are victims, it is often women and children who suffer the most, including in Afghanistan, Ukraine, Syria, and Sudan. Our recent and distant ancestors were all immigrants to the land on which we live. Let us embrace our global humanity and find peace. These are the paintings I have created since that time.
