STATEMENT FROM THE ARTIST:
My artwork is whimsical and bold but has a depth that rewards close looking. Sometimes it is overwhelming to think about what is going to happen next when we do not have a lot of answers to our questions. Different emotions and anxiety can overwhelm our lives. I make the art I do to create a glimpse of joy. Thinking about ways to celebrate life and loss. It is important that people have something to turn to and get lost in. Something that is not telling them about a diagnosis or receiving bad news. Letting a person be able to reflect and meditate. Something that is not asking us to do anything but look, and let our mind wander.
