Below is my Artist Statement regarding the exhibit.

"Curve and Lineal Tales". EDGE Graduate Exhibit -

Curves resound in my work often representing the course of one’s life – beginning to the end – circle after circle rippling out from one’s center. Life is not a straight line..

My artwork tells expressive tales. How I came to be and continue to develop as a person influenced by family heritage/customs. My mixed media pieces transform the miscellaneous by intergrading them together with layers of acrylic paint not unlike growing up in a huge Scotch-Irish clan that rented a “hall” for holiday celebrations. I have fond memories of hearing favorite family tales late into the evening. These and new ones are passed on to my children and their children in widening circles.
