White River Fish Kill
2017

A vibrant and colorful painting featuring a collage of abstract and stylized human figures, animals, and various shapes. The figures are depicted in a range of poses and expressions, with some standing and others seated or crouched. The background is filled with a mix of patterns, text, and symbols, including trees, hearts, dollar signs, and the words "NO BLOOD" and "WOW." The palette is dominated by greens, reds, blues, and purples, creating a lively and dynamic composition.
