Stick Together

“Stick Together” is part of a watercolor series inspired by my belief that everyone is precious and equal regardless of imposed social stigmas. Represented in the detailed paintings are a collection of contrasting skin tones, cultures and ages pieced together to create a unified image. The realism of the painted torn photo edges further emphasizes the bringing together different parts to make a new whole portrait. My 2022 ArtPop Street Gallery submission “Stick Together” emphasizes the child’s piercing gaze that seems to challenge our beliefs that keep us from seeing the common core humanness of everyone" -Eva Crawford
