“small wonders”
Spring is a time of renewal. Life wakes up from the long hibernation of
winter. Creatures great and small begin
to stir. Flowers bud and begin to fill
the air with their sweet aroma. This
show is a celebration of the wonder, diversity and delight in life. The joy of observation blossoms into
understanding of our world. Planet earth
is amazing in all her glory, from the tiny insects to the great beasts that
roam. The butterfly is especially astonishing!
The butterfly, for me, has always
represented transformation and renewal.
It is incredible to imagine such a creature that starts out in a slow
crawl as a caterpillar then, encases itself in a chrysalis to turn into a
chemical soup only to emerge as a beautiful butterfly talking flight flickering
about. The butterfly inspires our
imagination. The butterfly gives us hope
that we too can transform and fly.
My process for this show brings
together different materials to create a trans-formative layering effect. I use newspaper, tissue, watercolor paint,
acrylic paint, graphite, pastel and ink to create a scaffold effect of moving
in and through the elements. My desire
is to have you think about the process of creation, whether in art or in
nature.
Please, come join me to investigate
and rejoice over one of nature’s amazing small wonders. (artwork is for sale)
