Artist Statement
This is me formalizing the sacred places around our thoughts - noting the holy spaces between our hopes. It’s where I slip and slide into meditation and then tumble and land at the easel to make visual sense of my existence. It’s the finite to the infinite - deeply personal and it’s fleeting… Deborah Leonard
