Created in 2020

"Apples and Honey, 2020" is both a somber and tongue-in-cheek reflection on the holidays this remarkable year: from disinfecting a honey bear, to video-conference family dinners and rituals, to new ways of confirming and making meaning, connection, celebration and loss, holding fast to hope and faith. This painting was honored with a placement on the walls of my favorite museum in the world, my hometown San Francisco de Young Museum in the 2020 exhibition, The deYoung Open, and featured among only a small handful of select works in the Museum’s 30-minute film tour of the exhibition,“De Young Open: Curatorial walkthrough with exhibition curator Timothy A. Burgard”.
