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.” |
