ARTIST STATEMENT

Cairns are an artificial pile of stones often erected as landmarks.  Some mark a path or a burial site.  They can commemorate any sort of event, from the site of a battle to a place where a basket of eggs was dropped. Each of The Birds in this series represents an important moment in my life that I want to remember—whether it was good or bad.  They are life lessons that I’m sharing with you.  They are my cairns.
