Empathetic Magic opens on June 10th at the MT Burton Gallery in New Jersey. For more about the series, go here. The portraits of Rachele are for sale for $1800 each—see all currently available artworks. You can purchase prints from my Redbubble shop.
I use other artists’ work as inspiration all the time and I especially like doing what I did here, remixing an old work for a modern audience and building up layers of meaning. I did that with American Gothic and with The Kiss.

Art is the love of other humans made tangible across space and time. When a person can’t get a hug from a friend, art is there to make them feel seen and understood. Please share my work with your favorite people!
Maybe this post made you think of something you want to tell me? I’d love to hear from you.
