Artist Statement: Anne Stewart is my inspiration. Anne has been dealing with pancreatic cancer since 2023. Her stable status ended this spring when her doctor found treatment was once again needed. Despite her diagnosis, Anne is a grounded, positive person who with the support of her loving family and close friends, navigates this unknown terrain. “Unstoppable”, the piece I created with Anne as inspiration, depicts her resilience and spirit. Anne has a phoenix tattooed on her upper arm that served as a catalyst for this work. As I started to paint, I kept an image of Anne in mind and was filled with a vision of light-filled movement that I translated to the canvas. My art practice is one where I create colorful, expressive semi-abstract landscapes, wildlife, figures, and fanciful worlds based on my imagination using acrylics. I believe creation is a core response humans possess to express emotions. My work is inspired by my years as a creative arts therapist, witnessing the progress people are capable of when they are encouraged to express themselves. I believe each work of art I create is infused with emotions that others can relate to.
