- I was asked to create a painting
with the subject of an empty chair to be included in The
Empty Chairs: Loss after Suicide, a community art project
made to raise awareness about suicide and to celebrate the 40th
anniversary of Suicide Prevention and Crisis Service of Ithaca,
NY.

the exhibit features eleven chairs made by people who have lost
a loved one to suicide The mission of the show is to create visible
and meaningful symbols of grief and loss after suicide.
