I painted this painting from memory and imagination in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic. It expresses my feelings about the way essential workers are taken for granted and made invisible in our society. It is also based on my memories of riding the subway in New York City prior to the pandemic.

""I am fascinated by the ability of certain paintings to create a lasting image in the mind of the viewer. The image is not spelled out but is merely suggested and it remains intact in the viewer’s mind for decades. This is what I hope to accomplish with my paintings.""
