When I Was Lost

Notes: With the same title as one of my songs, this painting depicts the child as a being of light. My philosophy is that although our personal history may have been influenced and clouded by neglect or abuse, our central core is a pure spiritual being that calls us out of our despair to engage in creative and joyous living. (1998)
