Artist Remarks: This work is an OneArt Symbolic Landscape painting. While most people think World Peace when discussing peace, sometimes peace is of a more personal level - like making peace within yourself over a disruptive or traumatic event. The quality of this peace stems from the roots from which it is built. Here I am making peace within myself over my father's suicide. Rather than dwell on my loss, I chose to hold on to memories of shared joy with my dad. We worked with wood - walnut specifically, because of it's strength and beautiful rich tones. The love I feel for my dad, brings my loss into balance as joyous memories. When you allow it, art can help heal.
