There are many hats I wear in my life: mother, artist, wife, educator.

The challenge for me is in my constant attempt at balancing them all, while maintaining a personal sense of achievement and fulfillment. The body of work, Life Interpreted, represents my visual journey in attempting to understand and reach a balance.

Within this series, I am focusing on the struggle to preserve order within a personal environment as a means of perpetuating an internal order within the individual. My belief is if one can construct a sense of physical calm and order around them, then they have a greater opportunity at reaching a broader and deeper sense of contentment in their relationships and life in general.

I aim to visually contrast the mental and physical characteristics associated with a world, which at times, seems unordered and moving too rapidly.

My goal for Life Interpreted is to create a contemplative, visual space in which the viewer can embrace a sense of peace, order, and calm in an attempt to examine and understand their own chaos.
