Serenity Prayer

Artist: Alex Abbott
Dimensions: 40 x 40 in
Medium:  Acrylic on canvas
 
Life sized self portrait with my grandmother’s well worn quilt, made from fabric scraps from her clothing. Painted around the presidential inauguration in January 2025. A black void serves as the background signifying an unsettling and unknown future; the figure, surrounded by sculptural monochromatic waves of quilt fabric, clings to the security of her own strength. 
 
“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And the wisdom to know the difference.”
