"The basic question that all artists, in all media, ask is, Who are we alone and in relation to others?" - Ellen Eagle
The acts of drawing and painting are ultimately an exercise in observing and illuminating intimate relationships. Relationships between the subjects in the picture plane, relationships between colors, between shapes; the relationship of space, light, time.
Art making is a profound exercise in quietly listening in a myriad of ways and then reverentially echoing back what was heard.
