Several years ago I painted three boards inspired by my father-in-law who passed away from the
disease of Alzheimer's. When he was diagnosed, I did a bit
of my own research not only on how the disease progresses, but what happens to
the brain of the Alzheimer's patient. I know this is a very simplistic description, but
to sum up what I learned from painting these boards was that the brain is a
very complicated system with thousand of parts and pieces and as the disease
progresses these parts and pieces break and deteriorate. This intricacy of the
brain has made me more aware when I take photos mostly of nature. Here are
several photo that are
inspiring me to continue this
project of bringing awareness
to Alzheimer's.
How do you feel about painting for a cause?
These paintings
will be abstract for two
reasons. The first is I want the viewer to see the painting and let it
speak to them especially if they are effected by a loved one with this disease.
Second, I want these paintings to represent not only understanding but more
importantly joy, hope and comfort.
I look forward to keeping you updated and
