Catholic Guilt) | Acrylic and ink on canvas | 36” x 48”

A central figure in a stylized nun’s habit, her face a canvas of green tears and a red-lipped mouth, embodies the tension between serenity and sorrow. The vivid palette and layered imagery, including “FALL FROM GRACE” slashed like a scar, critique the hypocrisy of the self-righteous, evoking the biblical Pharisees “preaching in their underwear.” Phrases like “HYPOCRISY?,” “PATRIARCHY,” “GLASS HOUSE?,” and “ROOT OF ALL EVIL” surround the figure, while “IN THE END, WE ARE ALL SINNERS” underscores universal frailty. Encased in an ornate gold frame, this altar-like piece transforms into a modern reliquary, inviting viewers to confront their moral contradictions and embrace forgiveness.
