"Art saved my life. In 1994, when I was headed toward my darkest hours, I was offered a full scholarship to Reinhardt University for art. I had no direction or aspirations. Art gave me a sense of belonging, a community of peers and supporters, and a positive path forward."

This watercolor painting was done decades ago while in college. It took months to complete with layers and layers of earth toned paints to give the skin and fabrics a more realistic look. It remains to be one of my most complex pieces from that time period.
