Before the Fall (2022)
Oil and pastel on canvas
60″ x 72″
From the artist: Before the Fall is a take on “what would you tell the younger version of yourself?” How do you possibly prepare them for the trials and tribulations of life? The landscape is scenic and idyllic, a representation of the future. Yet, the future sometimes holds horrible secrets that one does not want to uncover. It’s a delicate balance of protecting delicate naivety, yet knowing you cannot shield the innocent forever.
