Martha,
I don't use the word "Love" lightly, I try to reserve it for family and close friends. I feel the word is somewhat diminished by being overly used for any and everything. That having been said, I do "Love" your work. Your work is not an attempt literally copy nature. You use nature to express much more than the object.Through the metamorphic creation from raw art materials, you create the intangibles of something truly felt. Your work does not result in the representation of a thing seen but something truly felt. You create intriguing work that uniquely takes on a life of its own.

Thankyou, Elizabeth! Still working at it!

William,

THANKYOU! THANKYOU! Yes, I have been hoping that all these images merged would create a sort of visual poem, you know? I've been alone with this work for three months now, and have had some great doubts that it could speak to anyone else but me. Your thoughtful review is extremely encouraging, and I very much appreciate it!!
