Description
Created 2014.
This work of art is acrylic on canvas, 18” by 24".
One of the ironies of incarceration was the constant presence of feeling an overwhelming sense of isolation. After seven years of marriage, I divorced and found myself without an intimate partner, and my only faithful companions became my journals, art, and imagination. I used the canvas to express my emotions and desires when I craved love, connection, and understanding. I transformed the solitude that once haunted me into an opportunity for introspection, discovering how imagination could guide me through the depths of loneliness.
