This series was spawned by my mentor, Alvaro Cardona-Hine; artist, poet and composer.
Last spring, I was scheduled to have heart surgery. In preparation for my procedure, I visited Alvaro at his home in the mountains of Truchas, New Mexico. Together, we painted in his adobe studio everyday for two weeks.
It was a joyous collaboration.
During my visit, the only request Alvaro made of me was to "paint your successful heart operation".
This series was my answer to his request.
