ARTIST STATEMENT

Although I enjoy looking inward, I also still enjoy looking outward and upward. In this case I was very glad to be able to walk and climb to this area. Walking in landscapes has always been a great joy. At 80, I celebrate still being able to do so, and to have the use of eyes and hands (though neither are what they were!) Griffith Park in LA was a new experience for me. It called for a new pallet and approach. I’m grateful for 20 plus years of making sculpture followed by an ongoing 20 plus years of painting. At this point in life, I don’t feel “invisible” at all.
