Abundance (2011) by Tamara Diaz (30×40) Acrylic Paint on Canvas. For the first time in a while, I felt so abundant, with love from friends/family and with helping others. For the first time, I felt financially stable and that allowed me to help others even more. But simultaneously, I separated from a partner and had to make an abuse report for a seven year old client. Hearing/feeling the pain, alcoholism and suffering all around me caused me to examine the abundance of those things too.
