Adjusting My Place on the Spectrum

2019 Acrylic on canvas 36'“ x 36”

We exist on several spectra of mental and physical health issues which are influenced by biology (DNA and genes), and environmental forces (society, community, and upbringing). We can adjust where we live on these spectra through acceptance, openness, and seeking help to move our position on each spectrum to live more comfortably. Help (tools) can be community, therapies, medications, etc.

2021 Acrylic on Wood 8“ x 8”

During the pandemic my obsession with data and science converged with a sudden preoccupation with cooking. Both were a means to controlling my situation and anxiety. The daily updating of spreadsheets with COVID rates from where loved ones lived scratched the analytical part of my brain, while cooking new foods allowed me to show love to my immediate family at home.
