Hi Jeanine. I saw you featured this morning on PBS, Real Simple. I was so impressed with your work, and mostly with your reason for the series you did about your dad, that I had to track down your website. I just want you to know that you have given me hope and inspiration. I am an artist and muralist(not famous but my work sells) and recently lost my adult daughter in an ATV accident. Since then I have had no desire to draw, paint, create anything. I have tried because friends tell me if I get lost in my art, it is a healing thing. I can't. Every time I try, I lose the desire. Today I watched you talk about your tribute to your dad through your art, and it made me start to think that perhaps I could take baby steps and start with some sort of tribute to my daughter, who was a nurse, a mother, an avid camper and loved the mountains that took her away from me. Thanks for your inspiration. I'm going to try.
This painting is one of the larger works in my solo exhibition Pilgrimage and Passages, a Spiritual Journey.
