Disrupted Realism
 

Realism disrupted by movement, light, visual disturbances, and thoughts, fuels my work.  
I build images with an abstract approach to accentuate the underlying mystery of life. 
Fragments of my poetry, snippets from random conversations, or words from dreams that can be a possible reference to the ancient mind, are, at times,
 incorporated into the composition.  
My goal is always to lead the viewer, and myself, to a new place.  

 
I will never have the proper dress to wear, for you to meet the moon.  Beth M.
