Artist Statement: "A Work of art is the unique result of a temperament. Its beauty comes from the fact that the author is what he is." -Author unknown WV HOLLOW SERIES. Since reading Peter Wohlleben's book, "The Hidden Life of Trees", trees have become the essence of my most recent work. I now see trees as humans guarding the landscape; some young, some old, some deformed, some small, some large, some strong and some broken, all taking care of each other |
