ARTIST STATEMENT

To return. To advance. To find the perfect cadence and dance. To redefine landscape and question Nature as a final container. To balance the Seen and the Unseen. To reveal and to disappear. Oils are worked, beaded and interwoven. The message is to locate oneself and in doing so through the process of a journey.
