Shadows and Silence | 20x24 | Available at The Black Spruce Gallery

I can deeply appreciate the melancholy stillness of a lonely, abandoned cabin—a structure frozen in time. What once was a warm shelter filled with life and laughter now sits nearly forgotten, weathered by seasons and neglect. Yet for those who knew it, this place remains unforgettable. It held the supporting role in the stories they lived, the backdrop to their most cherished memories.  While they can view with fond clarity the scenes that played out, we can only view from a distance, the empty stage.
