*Artist Statement*
Art exists right under the nose.
It resides in my everyday experiences;
swimming in the ocean of my bed sheets, soft from many washings,
looking into my husband’s sleepy face in the morning,
greetings from a cat at my front door.
This series of work addresses a reverie of the ordinary:
self-portraits reflecting my most tranquil and sublime state of mind.
