All Together Now, acrylic on panel, 60 x 60 in (152.4 x 152.4 cm)

Deep, heartfelt thanks to @artconsultingservices for selecting this work as part of your Kaiser Permanente 3710 Broadway Oakland California project! What an honor and pleasure to get this baby out of the studio and into the public eye! It’s such a joyful celebration for me when I get to share my work in public spaces.

I finally got to go see it in person! It has been in it’s new home since April 2022, over a year now!

When I painted “All Together Now” I was thinking about how we are all interconnected. Not just all humans but every living being on the planet, animals, plants, insects, even the rocks and mountains. And how helpful it is to hold this in our hearts during such challenging times for humanity. Our prayers go out to those who suffer, those who hunger, those experiencing prejudice, violence, displacement. May this image I painted help us to hold this image vision in our hearts of our commonality so that we may move into a world of more harmony understanding and compassion for all. Peace, solace, & well-being to all those reading this and all who see the piece in person. 🙏🤍🕊️
Special thanks for my pal Julie for photographing me with the piece. and deep gratitude to Donna Enad Napper who initiated this project.
