The Time Has Come
Representing the outset of an inquiry journey, a dark underwater scene shows an oyster in a closed shell at the bottom of a crevasse. A nearby anchor signifies a boat overhead, surrounded in a halo of light. What awaits the oyster on the surface?
Created to aesthetically tell the story of my own first pelvic exam experience.

My Own Ship
Representing the end of an inquiry journey, this painting portrays a bright sun shining on a blue ocean, with a boat's mast pointing towards the horizon. A young woman, the artist, stands on the deck, holding the controls and setting a course of her own.
