“A Ribbon on the Chest” 

11 x 30 inches, Gouache and Colored Pencil on Paper

What would it be like to not be driven?  To have goals and accomplishments can be internalized, but in many cases, must be shared to be fully savored. 

I often think about the awards we are given for accomplishments: a medal, a ribbon, a document, a pay raise.  They are intrinsic rewards for something we were likely driven to do from our soul.  Not that one doesn’t like to be recognized for accomplishments, and shouldn’t feel pride for doing so.
