This abstract piece was created in October 2020, inspired by our pandemic circumstances. I began with a repeated symbol motif based on Celtic designs representing “evil” and “spirit.” My thought process was, “COVID-19 feels like an evil spirit enveloping the earth at this time.”

Ultimately, the final painting looked best with the symbols inverted, giving them an appearance reminiscent of mixed-up 666’s. My child playfully remarked that they resemble Picasso-style breasts. I titled the piece “Spirits In The Night” because I felt that few people would want to hang a painting called Evil Spirit in their home or office.
