Slow Horses, 2025-
After visiting London, I remembered why I wanted to paint in the first place. I began reproductions of sections of classical paintings. On my mind were news reports of shuttering museums, libraries, cutting education, and criminalizing free speech. These views are resonating with my feelings. More to come.
