patience (2025)

oil, newsprint, & gold leaf on hardboard

21 x 12 inches

“endurance through difficult circumstances. waiting for changes that take time, without frustration or discouragement. keeping composure in the face of adversity, kindness in the face of hatred. refusal to be controlled by anger, to stoop to the level of the oppressor.”

from "viincarnate", a series of seven paintings which reinterpret the seven heavenly virtues of catholic tradition ​as embodied liberation practices.
