This series of work came about after seeing the destruction, devastation and sorrow that took over the island of Puerto Rico after hurricane Maria. I spent childhood summers in Puerto Rico and have many wonderful memories of that time. To see the physical and emotional destruction of the island and the people was heartbreaking. I felt the need to express my feelings and reactions through my work. The drawings and mix media pieces in this series combine memories and interpretations of both before and after island images. The rebuilding and repair of Puerto Rico will be a long process and journey that I hope will not be forgotten. A portion of all sales of this work will be donated to the United Fund of Puerto Rico to help in the ongoing recovery of the island.
