ARTIST STATEMENT
My greatest hope is that my work will stir something inside of you. That you will find meaning in the lines or the colors. That it will remind you of something you forgot, a feeling, a moment. I hope it incites wonder at the way the colors mix or curiosity in the differing materials, joy in the vibrance or heartbreak in the darkness. Above all, I hope it will construct for you as personal of an experience as it has for me throughout its creation.
-Morgan K. Smalley
