ARTISTS STATEMENT
I believe I came into being as an artist to translate visual stories. In photographs, on paper, or shaped linen, in synthetic, glass or stone, poems of myth and daily legends, all become my abstract colored forms. My personal vision is a creative composite from my years of lived experience as a member of the community in South Korea, Italy and South Africa, creating under the auspices of cultures that have expertise and value for tomb murals. Abstraction allows my deeply personal expression to be interpreted freely from the viewer's own self-knowledge and experience. I am in the field of education because of my concern for the children, and my desire to contribute empowering images for any age person's sense of self. For me the visual arts express the highest form of 'similarity' among diverse people. My work is to foster communications of respect among all people, through knowledge of the significant "other."
