| 关于此艺术家 |
I attribute my love for what I call my symbolic narrative work to my mother's rich stories about the the residents of a small area of Minneapolis, Minnesota that was settled by Eastern Europeans during the Great Depression.
Those tales of people whom war and hunger displaced from their native homes, and the life stories of people I meet today, find their way into my paintings through symbols and metaphors.
I am touched by the number of people who have told me that my work evokes their sense of being outsiders and, by seeing a visual representation of those feelings, have found that their feelings of isolation are mitigated. |
