Expecting Death Lore Eckelberry
Mixed Media on Canvas 60" x 48" $3500
This painting represents the difficult time that we experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a time of uncertainty and fear. At one point, I was so terrified that I wasn’t sure I could live through it. It felt like I was expecting death at any time. The skulls represent the number of deaths that were increasing at an alarming rate in 2020.

The Queen Lore Eckelberry
Mixed Media on Canvas 60" x 48" $3500
This painting represents a very special moment in my life when I was having an exhibition at the Palazzo Franchetti in Venice, Italy, during the Carnevale celebration. It is a moment of joy when many Europeans arrive there and celebrate a beautiful era by dressing up as if they were in the 12th century. People gather at Saint Mark’s square where they dance to celebrate a victory of almost a thousand years ago.
