Sunday is traditionally reserved for rest, reboot and gathering. Despite the tranquility, there is an underlying tension as most of us are reminded that our sense of freedom will ends shortly, when our alarms buzz Monday morning.

Through a combination of acrylic paint, oil bars, water-based spray paint, and collaged materials such as painted paper bags, vintage dress patterns, piano player paper, newsprint, colored tape, and laser printer transfers, this piece captures the essence of Sunday's calming neutral tones in black and tinted whites. The pops of neon red and orange and cool arctic blue enliven the work, evoking the social and gathering aspect of Sundays.

"Give Me Sunday" invites the viewer to escape the noise and distractions of the modern world and find sanctuary in the calm of Sunday, while also celebrating the creative energy and potential that the day holds.
