This new painting style startles me at times!  Inspired by the Mola textiles of Panama’s Kuna Indians, it was also influenced by my love of pre-Columbian artifacts.  This series continues to evolve, and the subject matter sometimes takes control and dictates the painting’s direction.

(The series also inspired the “I CAN DO THIS” painting workshops.)
