The Journey of Migration, encaustic, ink, paper with text and images, 24 x 12 inches

ARTIST STATEMENT:

My work, The Journey of Migration speaks to the millions of people all over the world who want to migrate to a better life. Global warming isn’t an urban, industrial, or nature issue but an economic and social issue as well. How we treat our planet affects our health and mental well-being. Extremes of weather are becoming more so and that affects crops, hunger, disease, and homelessness.

Ink and wax came together using a technique migrating inks from one surface to another much like the migration of people from one area to another, never quite sure where they will end up.
