This painting depicts two young couples flying in the garden of life on paths of their dreams to reach their goal seen as a bright light in the top right corner of the painting. The couple here resembles myself as a graduate student following my aspirations to graduate and take my PhD resembled in the bright light along with my wife that is my supporter and soulmate.

The Hilltop Review
My mom always called our family poodle my "little sister." Last fall at the age of sixteen she had to be put down, and I was unable to get away from school to be there for her. Instead I took time from my science education PhD work to draw this tribute to her. This portrait, in marker, shows her grey hair, cataracts, and playful stance, even at the end. Life events happen during PhD work, and it is critical to find balance between honoring the past and respecting your future.
