Field of Poppies 3/2024

This painting combines two worlds. The first world, with the lyrics at the top, is from a song that Paul Griffin and I wrote for a show that we co-produced with Josh Lewis from Sleepy Hollow Arts Collective called Mousterpiece Theater Presents: Mouseland: A Joyful Rodent Celebration. This amazing, heartfelt show was built around gathering feelings of peacefulness inside ourselves, and then going out into our communities to share that loving peacefulness. In the second world, a field of poppies grows in the field in Southern Israel where dancers at the Nova Festival were massacred on October 7 by the Hamas terrorist group. As I was drawing, I thought "We will dance again..." a slogan of resilience and a refusal to extinguish our joy.
