À propos

The artists offer about their exhibition:

Work and illness often invite stress and anxiety into our lives. When vision loss ended my engineering career and threatened my well-being, I turned to painting as a coping mechanism. With low vision, I chose distant landscapes with fewer details. Using canvas and brush as substitutes for flatscreen and mouse, I "created" nature and reconnected with the marvelous ecosystem we all depend on. It also connected me with my daughter Carina, who tried her own hand at painting. Hopefully, our work inspires others to make room for art and nature in their busy lives.
