What Happened in 2022

In May I painted to music for Dayton Classical Public Radio’s annual Rising Stars Benefit Auction on July 30, 2022.

The painting was inspired by Anne Akiko Meyers Plays 'Spiegel im Spiegel' (Mirror in Mirror) by Arvo Pärt from 'Smile'. I entitled it, “Heart Song” and depicts yearning for divine beauty.
