Series Two, Study Two"Series Two was a continuation of Series One (primarily inspired by the cultural oppression of women) but the inspiration for Series Two was strongly influenced by having just read the book "Burned Alive".
In "Burned Alive" my inspiration for this painting, the main character (who is one of the authors) was not entitled to all of the rights and freedoms set forth in this declaration, without distinction of any kind.
My ultimate plan (when I actually start selling my work) will be to take a portion of the purchase and donate it to the Surgir Foundation. When I learned that proceeds from cause would be donated, I was overjoyed. Thank you again."

"It
is not the fact of liberty but the way in which liberty is exercised that
ultimately determines whether liberty itself survives."
