An oil painting on linen canvas which expresses the deep political divide among people in the United States.though it describes attitudes of our current situation, it is also a colorful carefully designed painting. Though it is one work, it is divided into two differently colored sections, much like a diptych; one side is light in color while the other is very dark, thus expressing the division in current attitudes here.

Bio
I was born in Belgium into a highly musical & artistic family. I was accepted into NYC's Music & Art High School, went to Queens College & received my MA degree from Columbia University's School of International & Public Affairs but fell in love with painting after studying at the Art Students League. My paintings took me to Morocco. Spain and France. I love bright colors & imbue my abstractions with them; recently I also impart my feelings for current political events in the US. Le Galeriste, an artwear company has contracted to use my images on their tote bags, garments for a royalty.
