I’m so excited! I have been working on this new piece for a very, very long time. Finally, it is ready for me to show you. This piece is titled Mother Mary: Seeking Words of Wisdom — a nod to the Beatles’ song Let It Be that has drifted through my head on a loop for weeks. Mother Mary: Seeking Words of Wisdom Acrylic on wood 24” by 24” A bit about the symbolism: Mary is depicted as a historically accurate woman; she is based on a model of Middle Eastern origin.
