Lost Voices

Three rusting chairs sat next to each other on the porch of this abandoned home. I could not help but think that three spirits were engaged in conversations that no one heard (unless you were there to listen). I titled this painting "Lost Voices" because I felt that our stories (and our culture) become lost if we do not treasure them in some way -- whether in writing, film, orally or in painting. Join me as we imagine the tales that those lost voices could tell.

For the curious artists out there, this piece includes plein air collage -- something I am beginning to explore.

This was painted in "The Boneyard" as part of the 2022 Parrsboro International Plein Air Festival.
