Thank you for your note, Diane. I think the accompanying words should enhance our experience of a piece, rather than alienate us from it.The more heady the statement, the less I connect with it. I hope you are keeping well. I love peonies, too. Not long ’till we see them in bloom!

I have felt the same way about artist statements for so long. But perhaps not brave enough to come out and say so. There doesn’t always have to be a deeper meaning or even a concept. I agree with Rollman’s statements. I make art in different ways but am flummoxed when asked to create my artist’s statement. The problem is, my art — in any of its forms — is something that comes from what appeals to me aesthetically. It’s not always ‘beautiful’ but it appeals in some way. No deep meaning. Just something that I love.
