Combining disparate elements into new forms of harmony, these narrative mosaics explore well-being, womanhood, and passages, using irony, humor, and metaphor to create the unexpected. The work incorporates hand made ceramic shards, found objects and handblown glass.
“Hello Earth” paintings began as an optimistic view of the beauty of our planet. These paintings are observations from space. They reflect the variety of the earth’s landscapes and are a statement by themselves to illustrate how “the sum of its parts” come together to form the whole world we inhabit. The viewer is able to see unusual perspectives, colors, shapes and the drama of nature. Hopefully all peoples living on this planet will join together to protect it for future generations.
