My work continues to explore, discover and rediscover a lost history and an uncertain future. My point of reference is the Earth. It is through her eyes, her perception of reality that I watch the world go by. It is the Earth’s clarity of reason that I have learned not to judge but work towards healing and hope. My work must stand on its own to allow the viewer or reader to choose his or her own response.
