Acrylic on canvas, 2017, 30 x 30 inches

This series of paintings always makes me think of this quote from Patti Smith: “I tell my kids…think of yourself like a captain, and you’ve got this little boat. And sometimes the weather’s good, and you’re just sailing, and sometimes big storms hit, and you know, you’re in a stormy sea, but just ride it out, ride it out. Because it’s good to be alive.”
