Windows and Mirrors: Reflections on the War in Afghanistan

I created this painting for the Windows and Mirrors exhibit that has traveled the US which has provided an environment to discuss the human cost of the war in Afghanistan.  I admire the American Friends Service Committee for their dedication to peace and the way they have integrated the arts in their outreach and education. It has now come to the Bay Area and there are events listed below.

    I am a Palo Alto artist who has seen both your Windows and Mirrors banner and the mural at 101 Hyde St. (a post office we are trying to save so the homeless can have general delivery or PO boxes), and they are tops!

    I am also a long-time Quaker, and love the uses to which you put your talent.
