The Nippon Club Open Call WEB Art Exhibition “Forward Together!”

I started painting a series of marine creatures in spring 2020, when COVID-19 became a serious threat in the US. We were being challenged not only in health and economic aspects, but so many others as well, such as social, political, racial, spiritual... I started creating this series with the hope to inspire people to live more fully and joyously, no matter their circumstances. Life began in the oceans and we are still a part of this amazing living ecosystem, connected by this vast body of water.
