Art by Coleen McIntyre

I titled this painting Mystery, because the pill bug hides it’s soft inner body by curling it up into a hard shell.  Many of us tend to do this in life. Sometimes this reaction can be protective, to keep oneself strong – and sometimes it is unhealthy to not let others in. No matter how tight we close ourselves up, however, there’s always a little essence, or spirit that escapes.
