Artist Statement

“The pieces designed for the airport installation represent the flora that grows around my studio in Stony Creek, Tenn., as well as endangered species from the rain forest in Roan Mountain. I hope to engage the viewer in response to the beauty and richness of color that comes through the conservation of our resources.”
