This work is my interpretation of the progression of depression. As the light of purpose, joy and hope spirals into sadness, the sufferer's life is overwhelmed by the darkness of despair.As the viewer's attention moves from left to right, this painting depicts the transition from the light of health to the darkness of mental illness.
Bio:
Through my paintings I explore my interests and experiences, hoping to inspire others to see new ways of looking at the world. My paintings reflect the places I’ve lived, my personality, and interests. My subject matter is chosen because it moves me. Being an artist means that I choose the subject, composition, colors, and medium. You will notice that my work might be realistic, abstract, whimsical, or mystical. I am in charge of it all and that is what makes it fun for me. My art can be inspired by garden catalogs, travel, art books and even my own backyard.I have painted for many years, but art had to be done in the summer during the school year. I am an Indiana native with a M.S. in elementary education. I have lived in several different places, but Waunakee has been home for many years. I have taken classes and workshops from many artists that I admire. I believe learning is never ending. My paintings have found homes in the U.S. and Canada. Locally, my artwork is displayed at the Waunakee SSM clinic and at the Waunakee public library.
