Introducing 2020, The Artist Book

Sometimes I’ve believed as
 many as six impossible things  before breakfast.

~ Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

My Artist Book, 2020 a visual & written retrospective, would not have happened if I had believed only in what seemed possible at the time.
Behind all art. Behind every story. Behind anything that touches our imagination is a belief in the impossible.

A visual and written retrospective on 2020, this Limited Edition Artist Book was created for my Solo Exhibition 366 winter, spring, summer, fall
which opened in January 2021 at Var West Gallery  in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. On January 1, 2020, I drew my 1st mandala, an intricate drawing
inside a circle, and wrote my first journal entry of the year. On December 31, 2020, I drew my 366th mandala and wrote my last journal entry
of the year. This 378-page Artist Book features all 366 mandala drawings and journal entries. This is my most personal work to date. It is
about love and loss. Despair and hope. Simple joys and intimate moments. It is about witnessing and fighting hate. It is about
community, family and friendship. It is about showing up. Every day.
