"I have always loved fairy tales, fables and myths and vividly remember my father reading Grimm’s Fairy Tales to me as a child. Even at a young age, I could feel that there was a life lesson or maybe a roadmap for living hidden within the story. Their universal appeal and archetypal characters speak to the collective consciousness that unites us as humans. My artwork develops as I contemplate and ponder fleeting thoughts, concerns, or concepts of the world around me." ~ Catharine Carter
