Collection: After the Plague Parties
The After the Plague Party painting series looks back to past artwork to find a way forward after the COVID-19 pandemic. The first painting in the series was inspired by The Marriage Feast at Cana (1562–1563) by Paolo Veronese and other monumental art that were commissioned after historic and memorable plagues. To form a new composition, I loosely painted from both personal and historical sources. As I paint, I change the figures, add animals, my children’s toys, and imaginary creatures instead of Renaissance-clad people. The black ink on paper the brush marks are fluid and gestural.
