A leaf is whole, but it lends itself to a branch, which then lends itself to the foliage which then becomes a part of a tree. We often hear the saying ‘art mirrors life.’ In that sense, this is a gallery of exploration, deeper meaning. There are always underlying forms. While maybe not explicitly stated in physical form, every one of these pictures builds on something. Maybe something the artwork itself suggests, maybe something you have within you. It is a synergistic effort, the success of which is left up to you to qualify. This is a gallery wholly formed through smaller parts, smaller wholes. A gallery of life.
