This image was created as a profile photo 9 years ago. It was an effort not to ignore the political climate, but to fight back without hatred. It feels more important than ever. Ignorance is not bliss- silence will not save you.

I created this piece of the Times Square building in Rochester, NY. (It's also called the "wings" building) I want to do more Rochester landmarks- what do you think I should do next? #RochesterNY #TimesSquarebuilding #Wings #mixedmedia #CelebrateRochester

If you are in Rochester, NY consider stopping in the Purple Door this weekend. It is in Brighton! I will be there with my affirmation decks and more!

Seeds of Affirmation is my first deck. I have five now! It is my original art and inspired text to be your cheerleader in a box! Beginning your day with encouragement and positivity changes the spirit of the day! #affirmation #courage #positivity #CreateArt4Good #Greetings4Good #SusanCarmenDuffyArt

I find myself disenchanted with the social media world. No fact-checking? Have we just given up? Integrity should not be something we consider possessing. It should be in every fiber of our being. Perhaps it's time to isolate against "the machine" and take a walk in nature. Turn off the noise.

This has been my stress painting. Without a lot of time to paint I work on it for ten minutes here and there. Then I decided to silver foil the wings. Did I wreck it? Talk to me! (Please!)
