Though his name, his face and his political party appear prominently in The Trump Era Series this group of cloth paintings does not have anything to do with the 45th U.S. President directly. The series discusses political and cultural issues that were in the headlines of the world's news agencies before and during his administration. I have used his name in order to place the series historically for future generations. Because of his negative influence, and that of his adherents, situations that should have been handled in an enlightened, intelligent, pro-science and humane manner were undermined, ignored, depleted and exacerbated to the point where our democracy has been threatened.
