Worcester’s Painted Lady

acrylic paint and recycled Worcester Public Library books on recycled canvas

Completed 2024

As a lifelong artist, I create and participate in art as a way of processing and conveying what is on my heart. This acrylic painting’s origin began in August 2017 when I photographed the living piece at the Pow Wow Worcester festival. Progress of this piece reflected the impact of my divorce in subsequent years until reaching completion this spring. There are times when it is too painful to express what you feel, in those times I experience the art of others. I am so grateful to all the artists who have inspired me, especially in hard times.
