Artist’s statement
BLESS MY STARS
This group of paintings was inspired by two news items from
March 2002: one was the NASA Hubble photographs of stars being born;
the other was the prediction that within twenty years, we will not be able to
see the stars from our polluted urban centers. This irony – that we have
technology so advanced that we can view star embryos millions of light
years away, but refuse to use technology to free our planet from pollution –
intrigues and troubles me.
The paintings are my imaginative explorations of the life of a star.
