Artist statement: “As a survivor of trauma I feel empathy with anyone who has to work through difficult emotions and experiences. It can be an incredibly long lasting and taxing process. I wish everyone peace and success in this process.”
Image description: A painting of a desert rock rose is surrounded by geometric forms. The colors are florescent and the overall composure is both chaotic and has a sense of organization. The rock rose grows through the geometric forms and they seem connected. The rose stands in contrast to the shapes- and represents a struggle between findings structure and accepting the unknown natural world around us.
