Hatching a Plan
Acrylic on canvas, 48 x 60 in.

This piece captures the intensity of collaboration and shared vision. The three women’s faces engage in a silent exchange of mutual understanding. Surrounded by swirling patterns and vibrant colors, the space between them pulses with energy, suggesting an unfolding conversation, a strategy in motion. The fluidity of the acrylic medium mirrors the unpredictability of thought and the seamless flow of ideas. This composition is a collective moment of creation, which can be seen as the invisible labor of women here on earth or as female creators of the universe. The line from Eliza R. Snow’s poem, “Truth is reason, truth eternal tells me I’ve a mother there,” was a guiding force behind this painting, but truth and reason also tell me that not just one mother, but generations of mothers, continue in the work of Creation.
