This series
is
a dialogue
with history
and the future. It germinated
while I was painting
in a "convent"
studio in Italy.
Influenced
by my surroundings,
I experimented with backgrounds,
painting
in and scraping away,
incorporating objects
from diverse
cultures.
I took liberties in restructuring
the objects, combining and adding
personal and imaginative
items.
Striving for unity and harmony,
they have become my
visual prayers for peace.
