this is truly all I've ever wanted or tried to be--a place where people feel safe, and safe to be themselves 🌈 ⁠ ⁠

Painted in January 2021 with the hope that the year brings more equity, more love, more empathy, more honesty, more embracing difficult truths and working to bring about change. I'll keep trying to do my part. 💖⁠ ⁠

limited edition, signed and numbered 8x8” print of original thread and gouache paint on vintage photo printed on watercolor paper.

*update 3/2/22*In an effort to do some ongoing good in the face of war, natural disaster, and what sometimes feels like a never-ending, heart wrenching stream of news of human suffering, I am going to add these prints (and all of the pieces from this close-to-my-heart series) to my growing collection of art that gives back. I'll be donating 25% of the proceeds from these works to World Central Kitchen from here on out. Right now, World Central Kitchen chefs are serving fresh meals to Ukrainian families fleeing war, in Brazil recovering from floods, and in Madagascar following Cyclone Batsirai.
