Carrollton, GeorgiaReplanting Manhattan: 1 World Trade
acrylic on canvas, 18x20
“I painted Replanting Manhattan: 1 World Trade for a show calling for work
about ‘Growth.’ Instead of the usual florals or spiritual ideas associated with
this theme, I decided to portray urban growth. I love New York City—and I loved
the idea of depicting its regrowth out of tragedy.”PHOTO BY JOE WOOLHEAD
