We are living in chaotic times, and when our humanity is stressed, we return to the comforts and safety of home, family, community and soulful traditions. Our stories may stretch from the nostalgia of first love, and the delight of raising children, to the wisdom and challenges of middle age. As we age, our values shift and we see the beauty in simple things. We treasure our friendships and partners in quiet tender moments. In this collection, I seek artworks that express those sentiments. As a creative community, it is a gift that we can share these emotions and memories through images. In the end, we are all Human, and we are all the same at heart.
