In moving my residence, after a lifetime in Colorado, my mantra was, “Grow where you are planted.” This mantra continues, while also knowing it does take time to really root in a new place. After being asked repeatedly, “How do you think this move will effect your work?,” Honestly I didn’t think that it really would. I had a personal narrative that wasn’t shaped by my physical location. Now, I’ve found that my work is being redirected, and the realization is almost overwhelming. I now rely on my sense of perception, personal insights, and a viewer’s observation. Clearly, I was taking it all in. While my exploration of materials continues, my constant goal is to the visual experience. My intention is to bring the viewer in on a personal level by creating and relating their own story of my visual language.
