Soul Boats
For the last two years I have been making paintings about boats and travels of the soul after death. Several years ago I saw an exhibit of models of Egyptian funerary boats at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. It is believed that those models depict boats used to transport souls of the departed across a river to their final, eternal destination. In my boat paintings I explore varied subjects on their own respective immense journeys. Their situations and reactions are varied, some are joyful while others are fearful or pensive, but hope always prevails and aspects of my paintings may seem somewhat familiar and represent a bit of each of us.
