“My newest painting emphasizes the barriers, borders and walls erected by many leaders to control certain individuals and their families. Walls hold in bodies as well as our freedom of speech. Striving for freedom of movement is an indispensable condition for positive action, growth as individuals and a thriving humanist society.”
