Fourth in the Fragments in Time 2020 series - Virtues

2020 is the sixth Fragments in Time series. As I researched the Shakers for the 2019 Fragments series, I was very much intrigued by their embodiment of virtues. As one thought lead to the next, I began researching how virtues were illustrated during the early years of America. The woodcuts and engravings I found inspired me as I created this series.

The imagery for Charity stems from my Pennsylvania German heritage. A full heart wants to share, just as sharing fills your heart.
