"The meditative space and inner and outer worldliness of the painting is something I am drawn to."

"By observing the perfect imperfections of the leaf, one sees beyond the surface to the actual beauty and into the depth of the object. Removing ourselves from viewing the surface and going deeper bonds us with others and with nature." - Susan R. Hall
