Art for Months Series
Twelve illustrations on each theme--one illustration for every month--on the following topics: (Click on the buttons on the left to see them.) WIRED: Telephone poles are like people--wired differently, yet connected. ADHD CHALLENGES: The letters of the month's name illustrate aspects of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). CHAIRS: Chairs reflect "choices." We can choose where, when, and with whom to sit. STEPS: Inspired by the Twelve Steps of recovery, this theme considers steps we take in life. LAUNDRY: There are many insights in the common chore of laundry. TRASH: Getting rid of stuff--deserves respect. It has much to teach us. BOUNDARIES: Personal boundaries are reflected in physical boundaries. SIDEWALKS: Sidewalk construction shows the value of a process. THE KITCHEN SINK: The kitchen sink can be a challenge, but it has life lessons. ADHD CHALLENGES, TOO: I found more aspects of ADHD to illustrate.

Regarding FirePainting multiple pictures regarding fire has been powerful for me. The fire theme has become a metaphor reflecting life, safety, damage, and recovery. My fire paintings show enjoyable fire and toy fire trucks; fire safety equipment; several houses damaged by fire, and two houses in stages of repair. I saw hope come out of despair as the houses were reconstructed. I hope my work “Regarding Fire” would help trauma survivors to have insights and hope. I believe it would help conversations.
