Joyful Series
This series of paintings communicates feelings and reasons for joyfulness. The individual paintings are unique yet use cohesive visual elements. I am joyful every day that I paint, however, many things bring me joy. Included are the joys that we all celebrate—love, human connection, play, and important life events.

The concept behind the paintings Linked by Likeness I and II is “It takes a village”. This rings true for all of us. Community is important for connection to other humans. Sharing experiences with like-minds generates a feeling of well-being. It could be within a village, club, neighborhood, religion, tribe, team, or even a social media group. It feels good to have common connections, and that brings us joy.  

“We cannot live for ourselves alone. Our lives are connected by a thousand  invisible threads, and along these sympathetic fibers, our actions run as  causes and return to us as results.”   ...Herman Melville
