Mini collage on a canvas

3. 30.10.21 Five [5] minutes to Midnight

I continue to work with the mini canvas as it is teaching me many valuable lessons, on how to deal with intense emotions, conflict and the precarious nature of 21st century living‼️

The best part of any art making venture is the fact that one continues to recreate.

There are no dead ends.

The berries gathered are rose hips and common snowberry. I often gather rose hips during September and make rose hip butter or sauce. I am enjoying using natural materials in presenting my small works of art.

I have always enjoyed creating displays in the many jobs I have had in the Sales Industry over the years. Merchandising is a creative and fun activity.

My inspiration to create visual art comes from my Roman Catholic Traditional Faith, family, nature, community, and current contemporary subjects.

I value experimentation in my creative process. I engage with materials that ignite my imagination. Visions, dreams and contemplation play a strong role in my innovative approach.

I collaborate with artists, I enjoy working with ideas on public art projects that positively effect people and communities.

Additionally, I use typography and graphic design elements in my work.

I believe words are alive—imbued with thousands of years of meaning.

Letters express their own kind of symbology and speak to every person uniquely.

In my creating I endeavor to make the invisible visible.
