Painting of a human torso in warm tones on cool ground. This is one of my first paintings using acrylic paint, which has been a completely different experience having worked digitally for so long. This piece kind of just came to me but I think speaks to the inner demons and trauma we have but never really talk about. You never know what someone else is going through on the inside.

Land Acknowledgement The Gallatin Galleries is located on the traditional territory of the Lenni-Lenape, called “Lenapehoking.” The Lenape People lived in this territory in harmony for thousands of years. During the colonial era and early federal period, many were removed, but some also remain among the historical tribal communities of the region. We acknowledge the Lenni-Lenape as the original people of this land and their continuing relationship with their territory and we affirm the aspiration of the Lenape Chief Tamanend, that there be harmony between the Indigenous people of this land and the descendants of the immigrants to this land.
