Artist’s Statement
There’s a story to be told, or in my case painted, about love, death, and spiritual longing. This story has a cast of characters like a dark-haired woman in an Elizabethan gown, a raven with a message, and a loyal cat companion. She’s on a quest to unlock a treasure chest full of gold while moving along her path to enlightenment.
