In 2018, when Suzanne was carrying in many boxes of art for the centered: slightly off-center art show, an unkempt young member asked if he could help. His looks and actions inspired this painting.
Six years later, The Jesus Project collaboration was conceived. Members were invited to take a black and white print and create their own vision/version of Jesus, using the medium and style of their choice.

Easter 2024, the YMCA started The Jesus Project, inviting any and everyone to create their own version of Jesus using a pre-printed outline. The results were astounding, and can be viewed under The Jesus Project section of the A&H Gallery at the YMCA website.

Head of Christ.
Cleaning out the basement, I found a print of Richard Hook’s Head of Christ which had hung in our house since the early 1970s. Water damaged and covered with mold, it got a new life as I painted my own version over the existing image. Hook-Gray collaboration. 2024
