My Projects

separation

On November 1st, 2025, my long-time companion Mooki Dog passed away. Over the following 48 hours, this painting poured out of me along with more tears than I thought I had left. The cancer dianosis and treatment was effectively a funeral for me. 95% of everyone I counted as friends disappeared and my daily mantra became Outlive the Dog. Well, I outlived Mooki and my heart is shattered. This painting expresses the connection and severance of that connection with the one spirt on this planet that meant anything to me. I do not know if I'll return to painting. I exhausted my entire life savings surviving cancer. I don't know what will happen in the coming days, weeks, months. It feels like the best of my world is gone.
