​OUTSHINE fear is a series of five (5) artworks that combines alternative photographic methods and relief printmaking.

The inspiration is based on the question:
How does one encourage and motivate others when opportunity appears to be limited? 
Answer: LOVE MORE for every hate.

I am a parent and an educator living and working in NYC. On March 22, 2020, my twin 17 years old daughters were informed that they would not be returning to their high school, three months shy of their graduation. They were attending a NYC performance & art high school and were in the visual arts program. Art is social, so when the school began teaching remotely many of the students did not show up to the online classes. Without the use of the school’s studio space, art supplies, and direct guidance from teachers and their peers, many students found it difficult to work on their own. Some students became despondent and didn’t complete their work.

Armour Clad in LOVE: quarantine in NYC

I use printmaking in combination with Nature to create animated video vignettes that share my thirst for color, nature, and unconditional LOVE, not conditional romance. Since the March quarantine in NYC, I’ve been taking early morning walks through the nearby Prospect Park, in Brooklyn, NY, collecting tree parts to use as content for my video vignettes. Using skills from my years designing in the fashion industry, I’ve made a jacket and pair of pants from my prints to represent the idea of our earth, and all of humanity as being armour clad, and protected by LOVE.
