The #FreeHappy billboard exhibition featured the work of: Diane Matyas, Anne Spalter, Kelli Bickman, myself, and Lisa Goldberg.
A Study in Blue and Pink is an illustration that contrasts a cheerful pink with the sorrowful blue expressed in the creature’s tears, which flow like rivers across its wrinkled skin. The piece evokes the captivity of a sentient animal and references the Central African river systems where the species is most commonly found.
