Artist Statement

I am a wife, and mother of eleven children. My work is a response to the decreasing population of children in America. Our nation’s birthrate today is half what it was in 1960, and last year it hit its lowest point ever. Children are our future, and without them, this world will not survive. If we look to Mother Nature, she is reproducing for us continually, in order for us to breathe, eat, and be entertained, soulfully, with all her continued beauty and ever-soothing blooms. “So, bloom!’, is what I say. My works promote life, and I ask the world to open their eyes and be observant to what is surrounding. I am asking the viewer to be fruitful, and MultiplEYE!
