Most of my work is existential rather than expressing a political sentiment, though this work is an exception. I painted it specifically for this exhibition. I wanted to discuss the role that the Interstate Highway System played in “white flight” to the suburbs after the Brown v Board of Education Supreme Court decision (1954) desegregated American schools. The painting is half of a diptych.

Many thanks to my friend Bess for alerting me to this fantastic tented motel complex in Mission Valley- 3 large tented buildings.
