This group discussion supports the production and sharing of works 

with a focus on grief associated with birthing and raising children in an era of ubiquitous chemical pollution, economic transition, mass depression and anxiety, and technologically 

'smart' weapons.

As with all other groups in Extinction Grief & Creativity Forum, the work is couched within the reality of accelerated species extinction and compassionate regenerative physical actions in response, improving the present and whatever future may be.

artist's note: I did this painting of my daughter, who is about to graduate high school. I have a lot of anxiety around many aspects of this letting go, and one of them is that the future is looking quite grim for all of us. The dissolution is palpable.
