I am a mother. I am an artist.
The use
of color, texture and shape expresses my bond between mother and child;
that powerful, spiritual and emotional
connection unlike any other.
I paint to capture these emotions. One of my first inspirations was
the look in my daughters eyes as she looked up at me while nursing; that perfect
moment of calm, love, giving and taking. A moment that mothers want to hold
onto, but often lose in the everyday tasks of motherhood.
I
accomplished this by breaking up that moment into fragments and putting it back
together through spirals.
The
spiral represents the strong bond of love that grows out, becoming stronger and
never-ending; like the love of a parent for a child. It represents the cycle of
life, womanhood, femininity and motherhood.
It
represents me.
