Opening reception with the artists:
Saturday, April 10, 2004 (5-7 PM)

"When I was a child, I ran barefoot through the streams, the rocks, the cedar-clad hills of the Texas Hill Country where my parents owned a dude ranch. My profound love of nature and the singular beauty of all its separate entities inspire me to create art rooted in observation, whimsy, and a deep empathy for the animals that coexist with an encroaching human presence.

In addition, a childhood game that I have loved to play with my children and others is the scribble game where one person must make a spontaneous drawing from another person's scribble. I approach my found objects in this way, often reflecting a variety of human foibles and funky animals. My enjoyment at working from life ultimately aims at expressing my awe at the beauty and perfection of life forms adapted for success on earth."
