Cardinals in a winter ice storm. How do they manage to survive in such a frozen environment? They bring so much beauty and hope to the winter days.

Artist's Statement:

I’ve picked-up on thoughts, challenges and beauty that I’d left in my mental shed for years. Some as benign as a still life, others that are meant to tell a story. All of which I hope will register emotionally and aesthetically. I’ve found that it is important to show evidence of process in my work. It tells a sub-story of development leaving traces of the past, the scars and joys that have passed.
