artist statement
Art will reflect the artist in terms of interest and thoughts. It will reflect the world of the artist and the experience encountered each day. As a mirror can reflect different parts of a room depending on one's perpective, so an artwork may cause each viewer to relate to it in a different way. Art will draw us in like a mirror and respond with information that we seek — or surprise us with something we never realized or noticed before.
