WITHOUT HOPE SERIES

My current work is in response to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. The series is called, "Without Hope". The blues represent the colour of the ocean as it was, and the browns show how it is now.


The characters try to put a face on the men and women of the Louisiana coast line who's lives have been turned upside down by the disaster and the paintings aim to allow the viewers to connect empathetically with these people.
