Water Series: The Art of Change Growing up in Minnesota I spent much of my free time in or on the water. In particular, I have fond memories of escaping to the lake and staying under as long as I could. I would look up at the sun and notice how objects danced with the currents...I remember the serenity. I never realized until I was well into this series that water has always signified safety, solace, and healing for me...I was unconsciously re-creating this space through my work.
