I am always testing the boundaries of my art.  I like to interpret old ideas with a new twist.  The U.S. flag is a constant in most artist’s American artist’s portfolios, but mine is a little different…

The Statue Of Liberty.  Liberty is defined as the state or condition of people who are able to act and speak freely.  It is a right we enjoy in the United States.  It is a right denied to so many in the World.  For some it is a target for their hate.  My heart goes out to all of my brothers and sisters in Orlando, Florida who are processing a horrendous act of terror.  To those who lost their lives for simply living in this beautiful country and enjoying our freedoms.  We do recover.  We do overcome.  We share the American sprit…

“Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.” – President John F. Kennedy

“Our debt to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude. America will never forget their sacrifices.” – President Harry S. Truman

I cannot imagine there is anyone in the U.S. that doesn’t know a Veteran.  Either you’ve got a family member, friend or neighbor who has served our country, or you might even just have a Facebook friend who has given their time and a portion of their life to protect all of the rights we enjoy so freely here in America.  A special shout out to my Uncle David for all he has given.  Others like my Grandpa and Dad have passed away. Today is for the living!  Say “thank you” to a vet today!

I am playing around in “space” again.  I love the abstract nature of our Universe and I am always amazed and inspired by the imagery sent back to us from NASA.  This piece depicts our Statue of Liberty with an active chaotic nebula as a foreground.  She stands through it all….

Memorial day…..Today’s post is meant to create introspection, peace and remembrance.  I come from a military family.  My Great Grandfather in WWI, Grandfather in WWII, Father in the Korean War.  All my uncles on my Dad’s side have served.  I do not like war and it goes against everything in my spirit.  I understand it, but I do not like that it exists.  What I can appreciate are the men and women who selflessly serve us.  To those who have fallen….thank you for your service….may you rest in peace….
