Torn
Graphite and Acrylic with gold and silver leaf on Paper

During a phone conversation with my friend Lisa, we both felt pulled apart, overextended, and simply had enough — yet we were still able to laugh about it. As I often do, I processed the feeling through drawing. The sketch kept insisting, growing in attention, eventually leading to this artwork. Torn reflects both the uncontrollable external pressures around us and the personal decision to rebuild anyway.
No Place for Worry - Resist
50”x 35”
It expands on the idea of living within forces outside oneself — withstanding their pressure, and at times quietly dismissing what no longer serves the self.
Resolve- Good Spreads
34”x 24”
It is the ultimate result: a confident inner peace — not because the world pleases us, but because the troubling no longer troubles us. photo @chris_popio_photography

The third of the series, should be called “Mike drop”. It’s depicting a resolution, acceptance and overcoming with triumph. “ All is well when ends well”.

“No Place for worry”,
Graphite, acrylic and gold leaf on paper.
This is the second of three, a recurring theme for me of processing life. This stage represents resilience, resistance, strength. It’s about 30” tall and 40” wide without frame.
