About the artwork:
“‘Some Other Spring’ (2015, graphite on paper, 9″ x 12″) is a jazz standard (immortalized by Billie Holiday) that addresses disappointment, hope, and renewal. When my wife was undergoing surgery and chemotherapy, she was given anti-nausea medication. Her loss of hair meant that curlers had to be put aside for awhile.”
