"On June 6, 1787, President James Madison said ”We have seen the mere distinction of colour made in the most enlightened period of time, a ground of the most oppressive dominion ever exercised by man over man." THIS is a painting from my heart. My heart that is sadly accepting that we still have such a long way to go on this journey, and in this conversation. Living in our country for more than three decades, I want to be more like my Canadian roots; and I struggle with this on a daily basis. I painted this last spring on the grounds of beautiful Montpelier, on a glorious spring day, very close to the murder of George Floyd on May 25, 2020. Although right in the middle of Covid- 19, THIS - more importantly during this horrific time in America, 233 years later."
