Daisy (The Umbrella)

Daisy (The Umbrella) is an oil painting Mac created in 2001, following the attack on the World Trade Center and as a reflection on human nature. An early inspiration of his was the Belgian surrealist artist, Rene Magritte. Daisy (Umbrella) came to Mac in a dream and provoked thoughts of fear and security (real and imagined), and “the tools we use to travel and go outside physically, spiritually, and intellectually. To me, this painting is a lifeline.”
