VanessaMartin-Langone ARTIST STATEMENT

As an artist I am continually inspired by the beauty, resilience and transformative power of nature. During this term we used the wildflower as our muse. I thought about its ability to thrive against the odds, growing in the most unexpected and challenging environments. Through my art, I tried to capture the essence of this incredible spirit and what it can teach us philosophically.

I rediscovered a printing technique that I learned a few years ago and created these prints to invoke feelings of awe and admiration of nature. Technology has become so entrenched in our lives, we miss the opportunity to simply notice. My goal is to encourage others to marvel at nature and to spark a sense of wonder and delight. We are also reminded of the importance of protecting and nurturing our fragile planet.
