From the artist statement:
I am fascinated with the lucid beauty in nature, the way that light streams through a canopy of leaves, reflections shimmer across a body of water, and the asymmetry found in the cross-section of fruits and vegetables. Some of these images are used literally in my work, in the carvings and brushwork. However, I also enjoy abstracting the ideas of growth and vitality in nature, in combination with the female figure to create voluminous forms that suggest abundance.
Workshop Location: April 8th, 2008 - Fine Arts Building room 136
This event is sponsored by VSU Art Department & Ceramics.
