Art has played a prominent role in society and influences how we should think. Edouard Manet’s “The Picnic”  was the inspiration for me to paint “It’s Been No Picnic”.  In Manet’s 1863 oil painting, the women are undressed, and the men clothed, which now seems the norm. Trained as a psychodramatist, I have learned to find much value in role reversals.

Our Body Is The Garden of Our Soul. We grow like a flower or a weed. We fill and we empty.  We are chosen to be its caretaker. We may accept this responsibility, or not.  Soulfully, we yearn to unearth care and direction.
