“Lady Madonna”
\nmedium: acrylic on canvas
\nSize: 24″X36″<\/p>\n

Story: Lady Madonna is one of those songs that resonates with my
\nchildhood. When I read the book, Angela’s Ashes, I related to the kind
\nof poverty depicted in that story. We moved all the time. My parents
\nworked hard and did their best but they were always struggling to pay
\nthe rent. That’s why we had to move so many times.<\/p>\n

When I saw the music for this song, \u00a0I saw the basic lines of the sheet
\nmusic as a calendar and so I marked “Rent” on the first day of the month.<\/p>\n

I also liked the idea of including a round fertile shape in the design of the work because
\nchildren are born and getting under the feet of mothers all the time.<\/p>\n
