Artist’s
Statement |
||
 |
As an artist and artisan I believe the hands and
heart express what the mind only knows. I am inspirited with a desire
to use oceanic creatures, beach stones, sea shells and driftwood
in my work, gifts from the sea. Living in Connecticut, Cape
Cod, California, and Maui with jaunts to the Baja, Samoa, Italy and
Ireland gave me a glimpse of coast lines sharing similar marine life. From
humpbacks to abalone, sea turtles to bay scallops all migrating through
our vast blue world, my aesthetic imagery reflect a fascination with
the sea. Anne Morrow Lindbergh’s words resonate with me, “Patience,
patience, patience, is what the sea teaches. Patience and faith.
One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach----waiting for
a gift from the sea.” |
