During the pandemic, I was forced to flee the US due to a disregard for safety measures. I found myself in Lisbon, Portugal, where the outdoor ambiance and beauty inspired me to create a series of paintings. Through the creation of these pieces, I searched for meaning and kept my sanity during lockdown. These paintings allowed me to recover some of my self-esteem after losing two major shows in China and California and having to sell and dispose of my artwork. Despite these challenges, I was able to continue creating and finding joy in my work. --Label design by exhibit curator Nancy DeJoy.

Page Info
1 of 2: Untitled 4. Part 01
A watercolor painting of colorful lines on white paper. At the center of the page are 4 wavy star shapes made from layered lines. One of these are green and blue, two are lime green and dark green with a red dot in the center, and another is red and blue. A dark green line, highlighted in yellow, wavers diagonally across the page, bending around the shapes. Behind it, a gray strip stretches across the page in the opposite direction, forming an X with the green line. A black paint splatter runs over the red shape, and drips a long black line that covers the full height of the paper.

A multimedia drawing on white paper. Long and short strokes of color outlined in black form rectangular panels in hues of orange, red and yellow. These panels are lined up edge to edge, occasionally overlapping, to form a collage around the page with the smallest panels at the center.
