Curator Review
Happiness
Rideway’s symphonic quality of expression is sublimely ethereal. Her evocative vision of ‘Happiness’ gathers together a bouquet of vibrance, luminosity and layered shapes. A fragile yet rooted beauty can be felt in the intentional pulls of color towards the base of the piece. This exquisite embrace of bliss with such delicate attention to every element exposed, brings to life the light that lies within. -E.E. Jacks New Mexico United States of America
