Thriving in Place: Michelle Tompkins - She Dances

24 x 18", acrylic on canvas

Artist Statement

She Dances: What is a world without creativity? I cannot imagine it. As we navigate this world emitting an emotional explosion of a pandemic, racism, social injustice, and inequality, I submerge myself in the sanctity of art. It allows me to release anxiety, get lost in the blissfulness of brush strokes, and create something pure and utterly beautiful. And when I awaken from trance of boundless creativity, the world may still be in turmoil, yet she dances.
