"Do you know the legend about cicadas? They say they are the souls of poets who cannot keep quiet because, when they were alive, they never wrote the poems they wanted to."
John Berger
Hope. Oil on canvas. 4’x3’. 2011. This painting was constructed from a handmade collage. I used cacti, cacti flowers and fruit, agave, and the mesquite tree. These types of plants have one thing in common; their ability to adapt to severe environments.
