Resilience. Facing challenge is a universal human experience, but how we respond is what makes us unique. Interpreting existence while my husband and I have been hit with life threatening issues, there are specific images that continue to feel normal to me. I’ve found release through process while making art, which is why my work is so personal and includes references to significant aspects of my life and my will to continue forward. It’s a desire to expel thoughts and emotions I’m compelled to express while using the tools of art to create an image that hopefully resonates with others; symbolically representing the truth of human resilience.
