MovingForwardFinSml.jpg
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 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
The…

In Loving Memory,oil on Wood Board 15 X 20.JPG
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…

9-11 Collage 3.gif
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,…

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…

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…

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…

This is a poster created in response to the hyper-aggressive attitudes being exhibited by otherwise composed new yorkers as they latched onto the idea that retribution could somehow offset their confusion and grief.

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.

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…

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!

This was drawn by my daughter, Pamela, who was 5 years old at the time. Until she started bringing pictures home where the house was now twin towers instead of her typical house, I had no idea how much this had affected her.

This picture was sent to me in an email shortly after 9/11. The only thing that I know about it is that it's supposed to have been drawn by an American Service Member. I think it shows perfectly that though our battles are usually fought by the…

newglobe911.JPG
The image I am submitting is a painting that I did after 911. The idea came to me in part from a photo I had seen on TV and in part from an idea my son gave me along with a plea to create something so we would never forget. The image of the statue…

I found this picture on the web I am unsure of the artist but know that it was front page of an Austrailian newspaper. I found the image of Liberty crying with the Towers as a backdrop heart pounding. God Bless America
