Right after I arrived in Guatemala and was preparing for my show with Annie I got terrible news that my dear friend and ex-boyfriend had taken his own life. It took ten days to find his body. In that time I was a wreck and making and painting an altar to him was prayer itself. The background is two Of Annie’s paintings with a votive candle of Our Lady of Guadeloupe and flowers, an orange for the new year. I still miss him.
