“In Memoriam … Honoring Grief”

This group of work in ink, oils & sculpture are the processing of grief and some of the emotions/stages that I have experienced and needed to give form to as I process the loss of my sister. From raw naked emotional paint to the denial or “I can go on as normal” “I’ve accepted the loss” to everything in-between.

As the emotions would swirl in my heart and head, it is only until the colors are chosen and the strokes started did the emotional expression begin cutting through the coldness and numbness that bring about the cleansing of tears.
