Surrounded by Devourers is a deeply personal piece that reflects my exploration of the tension between inner light and the dark forces that surround us. It calls to the awareness of mental illness and how we may feel its effects in our lives. At the heart of the painting is a figure I see as both vulnerable and strong head bowed, hands cradling his head not in surrender, but in protection. Shielding his mind, his spirit, from the chaos closing in.
