Artist's Statement:
Through a myriad of experiences and travels that have broadened my mind and pleased my soul, I am now back to my roots, coming full circle to those that grew and became my initial foundation. I have always wanted to go back to painting, photography and write a book. I am now engrossed in this trilogy of work. Through my painting, I express the beautiful cattail bound at the bottom to the earth as it moves wild and willowy in the wind as I have photographed them in the swamps and tributaries of the St. Johns River and along the creeks and bogs in Northeast Florida. They are sentinels for our environment. My range of color is bright and unexpected, as well as exciting to work with. My tools are decades old, recently found and now reused. Through my photography I capture in a very simple way the silence and shouting of nature. Through the words in my book, "Re-Rooting: Life's Journey," I am able to touch those in the midst of change and support their move forward. I have found my place for a while. I am blessed to be able to share these passions with those who also have found themselves in a similar place in a moment of time. |
