Artist's Statement:
My world around me. Sometimes bright and cheery and other times dark and confusing. The element that links my objects to my thoughts is the representation of natural life forms.
Drawing from my environment I used flowers, plant forms, seeds. The flowering vine vessel series is my running commentary on life itself-gesture, color, beauty, shadow, isolation, confinement, and treasure.
