Here I am sitting in front of the completed "Monarch Sunset I and II" June 2020
In April, 2020 I was awarded a commission from AtlantiCare Hospital to create two large panels for the Admissions Desk beating out over 500 artist applicants. Getting the phone call telling me that I was selected was such a thrill - my heart was literally pounding and I was over the moon happy! However, I came down to earth fast when I realized the panels had to be delivered by June 30th, just over 2 months away which is not a lot of time to paint in oils which need weeks to dry (I briefly considered acrylics but needed the vibrancy of oils). Plus I was in the midst of moving my studio - thankfully to a larger space! Using my project planning skills and working backwards I established a timeline to which I strictly adhered. I also made room for error and pandemic delays - for example ordering three linen canvas panels in case I needed a backup which proved to be the case when one of the canvas kits I ordered came with a broken stretcher bar.
"Monarch Sunset" is an extremely gratifying project - I hope my paintings lift the spirits of hospital workers, patients and their families. So far the ribbon cutting ceremony is TBD for when it is safe to host gatherings. Hopefully it will happen as one of my favorite things about public art is interacting with people and seeing reactions to my artwork. You can see my process to create "Monarch Sunset" in this 24 second YouTube Video.
