The landscape in this lush farmland area, about an hour from us, is a stark contrast to the rocky oceanside terrain here. They're beautiful differently. #BonavistaBay #Newfoundland

It's happening everywhere...people fail to respect each other and to understand that until racism is seen as the poison it is, this could become reality. Our very existence is dependent upon collaborative efforts...for our planet Earth and all who inhabit it. #ProudBlue #DV1 #USDemocracy #BlueEarth

"A common virus could nearly quadruple your odds of suffering new back problems" "Repeat [COVID-19] infections were associated with nearly 4 times the odds of new back problems, while the chances of receiving a new respiratory diagnosis were connected to a 5 times increase." archive.li/g9MCr

Screenshot of a New York Post health article published September 20, 2026, headlined “A common virus could nearly quadruple your odds of suffering new back problems.” The article image shows a woman standing beside a sofa, grimacing while holding her lower back in pain. The caption identifies the virus as COVID-19, stating that people who had COVID twice had 76% higher odds of a new diagnosis and nearly four times the odds of developing new back problems.

Articles like these are emblematic of the institutional amnesia surrounding Covid-19. A pathogen that emerged less than seven years ago, which can cause fatigue during the acute infection and as a common long-term effect, not even mentioned. Conspicuously absent. www.nbcnews.com/health/menta...

Artist statement
"I worked in bronze for a few years before moving to wire. I was drawn to the immediacy and infinite possibilities to portray movement with the medium.

"My works are best described as whimsical snapshots of life which are intended to evoke memories and emotion. Made to look old to create a sense of timelessness and nostalgia. Dogs and the female form as well as water and movement feature heavily. My work focuses on moments of joy and my inspiration comes from everyday life."
