From the Artist: "I attended a workshop on 23 September 2001. Sitting in the peaceful countryside was a stark contrast to what was happening in New York City. My sister had just arrived safely home, disturbed from her recent visit with her children, in Arizona. I took out the brilliant red, white, and blue tubes of acrylic and thought of the chaos reigning in that great city – of those beautiful towers no longer standing. As I thought of the pain that so many people were feeling, I found myself painting a skyline in chaos and before I knew it the towers rose strong again."
