ARTIST STATEMENT

I am a fiber artist who seeks to create authentic abstract art through mixed media to express my visual voice. The pandemic caused unthinkable havoc and sorrow throughout the world. The World is Watching! explored this dilemma as the world looked on with concern and fear, striving to learn the most effective strategies to combat the disease. Eyes are the windows to the soul and can indeed convey our anxiety and emotions.

“The ships wise men will remind you once again that the whole world is watching”- Bob Dylan
