ABOUT:

This work of art is inspired by the remarkable life and legacy of Gail Rogal, and the ongoing story of Robert Rogal of Ro Gallery in New York. Their journey moved me so deeply, I painted this piece… and jumped on a plane to show it to Robert in person.

The painting may have still been a little wet—but that just adds to the fun! That raw, spontaneous moment just became part of the story!

Hidden within this piece is a message—layered, coded, and alive. Some may only feel it, while others might start to see. Think of it like a modern-day Where’s Waldo, where every word, color, and mark is placed with purpose.
