The Screaming Gulf


Recently my abstract "The Screaming Gulf" was selected for the the Emporia State University's project created for a graduate level class in Library and Information Science, "Artistic Reflections on Deepwater Horizon". This digital collection aims to capture America’s response to the Gulf Oil Spill through art. By showcasing works of diverse artists in various mediums, this collection presents creative manifestations of the emotions, thoughts, and reactions inspired by the disaster.
