Getting to Know the Artist
"FOUND IN A WORLD ALL OF MY VERY OWN... I LIKE IT HERE." - Vanna Black
FROM THE ARTIST
In today’s world, we are inundated with so much information that it has become a hindrance in how we function with ourselves and with others on a daily basis. My objective through my art is to inspire, first and foremost, others to ask the “what if…” My own inspiration is powered by nature herself; the trees, bugs, flowers, really whatever grasp all of my senses and the compositions/ shapes and forms serendipitously found out in nature, mainly. I create landscapes and floral imagery that is playful allowing me to express my inner child it’s a very spiritual place. Viewers of my work can reflect inwards and let go of whatever emotions they are feeling and can focus on places they imagine themself to be if they need to escape from reality.
