"A Shout and A Whisper," 2025

18x24 inches
Acrylic on stretched canvas

Named after an excerpt from the poem "Leaves and Blossoms Along the Way" by Mary Oliver: 

For how many years did I wander slowly
through the forest. What wonder
and glory I would have missed had I ever been
in a hurry!

—

Beauty can both shout and whisper,
and still it explains nothing.

—

The point is, you’re you, and that’s for keeps.
