The Enchantment

"I rarely paint daytime pieces, particularly at midday. I miss the sun like a long lost lover, but my brain starts glitching badly after about an hour of consistent bright light and then I am left exhausted. Often having to spend the rest of the day into the next lying in the dark until I recover.

This piece was a bit of a love letter to the sun for me.In the upper window a figure gazes longingly at the summer day, tucked away like a modern day Rupenzel. Held captive and isolated, cursed to watch the world from afar.

I think isolation is a theme that resonates with a lot of people with visible and invisible disability. It can be quite maddening and leave one feeling very alone sometimes.I feel with the pandemic many able people got a taste of what this reality is like for so many people in the world."
