| Artist Quote |
“This is no ordinary penguin. He dreams of great things in vivid color. He is a Technicolor display of color and light. The pieces of glass imbedded on his body are a rainbow of shades and hues. The sun glints on the many hundreds of pieces of glass and he brightens up a gray day… this penguin represents joy, light, and exuberance. When I became a mother, I returned to my childhood love of examining and collecting things – shells, rocks, baubles, beads... My work is really a conglomeration of symbols and objects intertwined in a way that is hopefully both visually stimulating and meaningful to the individual.” |
