Untitled (Angry)

gouache paint on canvas

12″ x 9″

2022

untitled (angry) was my first painting following the overturning of Roe v. Wade in June of 2022. Fueled by mixes of fear, anger and sadness, I let myself paint the bloodshed that would undoubtedly follow this decision; the bloodshed of those who will die because an abortion would have saved their lives, of those who thought they could get away with the annihilation of human rights, and of those caught in the crossfire of a battle that we will not lose.
