In this art series, I showcase the four stages of a smile utilizing figures who have influenced society creatively, all of which happen to have great smiles and have passed away far too young.  

​

I created this series because I wanted it in my own home, and now it is available to collectors.  In a way, these are visual reminders to myself to smile.  For the series, I chose various figures that have in some way influenced me.  It's my hope that when a viewer studies each of the four images in order...they, too, will smile.

​

In this piece, I focused on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who changed the world through his words, inspiration, and action.  The struggles he fought against are not over, but the impact he had through his tireless work changed the planet and continues to inspire each new generation.  His message was one of love.
