I painted this on 9/11/01. I call it "INFAMIE" I created it for all the Mothers that have lost the ones they love. Including MOTHER AMERICA. She is now owned by a collector in Denver, Colorado. God Bless America!

My five year old daughter created this image (as a series of images that she titled "The Very Sad Day"), which she made days after the horrific events of 9-11-01. This is the one we like best!

I painted this image in February 2000. It was the first in a series of floralscapes I was (and am still) working on. On September 11, 2001 it took on an eerily prophet meaning.
I wish the message it to convey now is one of our country blossoming…

This Is A Piece of artwork in which I completed 3 days after the attacks. It shows that a tragedy of this magnitude effects everyone, even animals, as the rescue dogs confirmed.

My son Nicolas was born in New York in 1993. He feels so strongly about New York and the Twin Towers. Although we live away from the City, he did not sleep for three nights and produced the drawing of his own initiative.
Notice the Nico vs Bin…

My 7 year old son drew these before, during and rebuilding pictures of the twin towers. His comment to me on handing me these pictures was "I wish they didn't crash those buildings Mommy". With all the longs speaches and media swamping on this…

This is an oil painting I created within the month after 911. It is called Isle of Prayers as I feel that is what Manhattan became. The Virgen of Guadalupe cries a tear of blood for all people. My heart goes out to everyone effected by this tragedy…

Collage in memory of the heroes of 9-11. I collected various clippings, Americana, fabric from my WTC/Pentagon/PA memorial quilt square submission, and personal sketches within the last year. The collage was completed on the evening of Sept. 10,…

Forever in our hearts and memories, the twin towers of the World Trade Center will remain. A symbol of a free people to choose their own destiny. As an artist, my painting " In Loving Memory" is for paying respect and tribine to so many innocent…

".....that we highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain...that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom...and that Government of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth."…

This drawing was from memory, so isn't technically accurate. Visually, it is.

The title is a brief poem:

For a week time stood still
Then it began moving again
There are two worlds
Before 09-11-2001
And after...

Like two tombstones

This drawing is titled "Moving Forward," and looks at my gradual progress of recovery, which is like moving through a new tunnel not quite knowing what's on the other side, but the end looks brighter, more hopeful. The mirror reflects upon the past.

This drawing, more a sketch, is fairly straightforward and is titled "Weight of Emotion."

This ink is titled "Frozen." It has taken over a year for me to be able to examine the 9-11 tragedy in the detail required for expression that is as involved as this. I wonder if other artists and writers are discovering the same thing? Horror of…

This is a plaster sculpture created by a group of junior high students near Columbus, Ohio. They spent 5 months working on it to convey their deep sorrow. They chose this pose after seeing many images on television of the New York skyline that…
