Artist's Statement
To understand my work, just imagine looking at thousands of pieces of broken glass and seeing unique shapes. Personally, I see a jigsaw puzzle. My inspiration came when a mirror fell off my wall. Seeing so many angles & imagining how to create something beautiful.
Orel mediums are supported with broken stain glass and broken mirrors. I have never cut any glass for shapes but have broken pieces which were already cracked. Other mediums also include acrylic paint and combinations of other paint types.
Large percentage of my work focus on women which stems from me seeing my mother as the strongest woman in my life. When I sit to create art, I never know what I will create. I always reach out for that unique piece to get started. My imagination serves as my therapy.
