ARTIST STATEMENT: SELF INFLICTED WOUNDS SERIES
I believe we hurt ourselves far more than anyone else possibly could. These works reflect a mixture of experiences that have brought pain into my own life. It is not that I enjoy suffering, but more that on occasion I have just been foolish. Creating the art helps me realize how much more I desire and prefer healing. Yet the learning process continues.
Oil, acrylics, mixed media collage with found objects, glitter, thread, yarn and textiles on hollow core doors, board, canvas and paper are all utilized to explore the wounds.
