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.
