I painted the series titled Time Passages as a reaction to the concerns about bullying and how the world today is becoming increasingly mean-spirited.  My response was to reflect upon decades past through a series of paintings dripping with nostalgic imagery.  As I recall, the world has never been a safe place.  Maybe we just are privy to too much information in this day and age.  In any case, it is good to walk down memory lane and recall another time.  It's always more interesting when viewed through rose-coloured glasses, framing the moment  just so,  presenting it as we want to remember it rather than how it really was. As a piece of art, it stays with us, forever reminding us of what was, what is, and what perhaps should be.   

Who says the truth is always true?
