"As I reflect on the group of works included in my exhibition, I realize they represent a range of emotions and thoughts that are articulated in the language of geometric elements emphasizing great figure/ground tension. For me, great figure/ground tension equals beauty. Beauty is life-giving. I need beauty. Haydn’s “Trumpet Concerto in E-flat Major” is beyond thrilling to the soul, life-giving and it is about beauty. I want to create works only about beauty."
