ARTIST STATEMENT







             Vanessa Martin-Langone








             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.
