Roaring Mother Earth

Artist Statement about the painting-When people do injustices to women, other humans, animals or to Mother Earth herself, I lose my normal, quiet, and calm self and I am furious. My artistic expression becomes wild and explodes out in words or paints, forming a poem or a painting. Recent events have been turning wild in my imagination as I am witnessing the constant abuse inflicted on humans, the daily maiming and killing of humanity and the tearing up of our planet into pieces. When I witness the consequences of war, extinction of species or the rising water levels threatening low lying countries. In my wildest imagination, I visualize Mother Earth rising with fierce force, carrying all creatures in her womb, calling the stars, the sun, and the moon as witnesses, roaring like Kali, the Goddess of Destruction.
