Ascending Butterflies

36×36 inches, acrylic and gold leaf on canvas

I went through a period of “butterflies” which started with some lovely paper pieces I donated for fundraising for the Holocaust Museum in St. Petersburg. And also a massive project I did for an elementary school where I taught for two years. They have a new home with a patron who has a wonderful butterfly garden and lectures to adults and children on the subject. There is power and strength in such delicate winged beauty!
