This is a very powerful work, not just in terms of the incredible colours and layout, but also in terms of subject matter, never have we had such a young generation bombarded by the media in such a way...as a young person I have found it very stressful as you are constantly being forced to grow up so fast into the worst kind of adult world. Very thout provoking, thankyou for sharing! :)

Artist Reply: Nonny: Your insightful and profound words are music to my heart. To be so perceptive is a rare and valuable gift. And you have that gift and are able to express it so eloquently through your words and your fine art. I do so appreciate and respect your opinions. Please stop back anytime to my humble gallery. I will look forward to that and I, of course, will visit your art gallery as well. Again thank you!!

You are always such an inspiration. I know exactly what you are expressing, sadly enough, but the colours you have used are inspiringly healing and hopeful of a brighter future despite horror, grief and abuse. Marvelous and beautiful work. I have no time these days to create but remain in awe of friends such as you who create such phenomenal works

Wonderful work Joey!! Your work is so powerful, always touching my heart. As a woman this is an issue especially important.
