Artist Statement
I am a visual storyteller who expresses on canvas and evokes a story within the viewer too. During this coronavirus pandemic, I am finding myself especially grateful for the courageous men and women on the front lines that stand as beacons of light as they nurse sick and dying patients regardless of race, creed, color, situation, or circumstances. By painting these COVID-19 ICU nurses, I am offering my heartfelt thanks, gratitude, and respect.
