ARTIST'S STATEMENT
After she died, my dreams became lucid. Mom, who had encouraged me to paint, to sew, and to see my world as a garden ~ came through to guide me in dreams and paintings to finish what she started.
Recognizing her took some time, nearly thirty years. My art now fulfills our shared vision of wellness through self expression, following one's heart, and reaching out to people. Because of Pauline Fagan, my art is not limited to painting. My mediums include fiber art, writing, speaking, and publishing.
