This Series was painted on the Eve of 2000 when there was much speculation as to what the ramifications might be when the clock stuck 12:00, 2000. The excitement in the city was very high; you could feel the electricity in the air. Irene’s paintings, as she captures the sights and feelings of the evening, her paintings project this moment in time.

The "Twin Towers" painting was added in September 2001. Deeply touched by the tragedy of 9-11, as was all of America, Irene wanted to add a personal memorial to the Series with her painting of the former Twin Towers.
