Artist Statement: Winter in Nebraska often involves frigid temperatures and gray overcast skies. This season of the year paralleled a season of my life during which a divorce closely followed by the pandemic created an extended internal winter. But winter, whether seasonal or personal, also provides gifts when I respond creatively to whatever circumstances life presents on any given day. Obstacles can become blessings such as seeing the beauty presented by a frosty winter day.
