“I have spent a lifetime making art juxtaposing the personal with the political.  My focus is on wars/conflicts documenting global genocide and ethnic cleansing presenting the anguish of innocent civilians caught in a spiral of death and destruction in large-scale “history” paintings. Since 2003, in a world where terrorism and cultural upheaval have dominated the news cycles, I look at the devastating impact of hostilities on the populace correlating the displacement of residents in war-torn countries with a visual dissolution of form fragmenting the picture plane. SCORCHED is the most recent painting addressing these issues.” - Grace Graupe Pillard
