I paint peace.

Somehow, I find hope amidst the horrors. I find light within the heartbreaking certainty that not only is there a war in Ukraine, but we have wars of many forms in our world.

I paint sunflowers, the national flower of Ukraine. I paint the courageous colors of the people of Ukraine.

I paint Peace.
May we know we are One.
