If you believe that only the “fit” should survive and the rest are excusable deaths, that’s eugenics. Every life is important. Every disabled person is worthy of life. Disability is part of nature. If you live long enough, you will become disabled. We’re all vulnerable and all valuable.

5 years ago today, Ahmaud Arbery was hunted down in broad daylight without hesitation, simply because he was Black.
True justice is a world where Ahmaud was allowed to grow old and thrive. A world where he was never seen as a suspect in the first place.
Rest in power.

I came across these rather chilling words recently, written by Hannah Arendt (1906-1975), the German-born American historian and philosopher.
"The death of human empathy is one of the earliest and most telling signs of a culture about to fall in barbarism."

My newest painting, Old San Juan, Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 This cityscape painting was inspired my the view from atop the Castillo San Cristóbal fort. I loved the textures and colors of the city seen from this perspective so much, and as soon as I saw it I know I just had to paint it. Watercolor 🎨
