Never. The. Less.
by Dawn Chandler 

contemporary figurative painting
mixed media collage

24” x 24” x 1.5”

Never.The.Less. is my response to Kyo Gallery's call to create a painting inspired by the idea of "Resist/Recover. " A departure from my usual landscapes, Never. The. Less. is a brief and passionate return to figurative mixed media, as I populate the painting with a community of women from across the ages — including some from my own family.
 

Never. The Less. is available at Kyo Gallery in Alexandria, Virginia. Contact them here to make this provocative yours .
