For three months this series was on display at the Mercy Center in Burlingame, California, titled "Where Have You Been". Each painting had a reflection posted with it.

The paintings were inspired from mid 20th Century black and white images or from my own experiences as explained on each web page. Behind each painting is a story that touched me.

In his 1967 Christmas Eve Sermon, Dr. Martin L. King, Jr. said, "It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied into a single garment of destiny. Whatever effects one directly, affects all indirectly."

-- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
