The artist on the piece: “While working in my studio and listening to the news about the taking down of many monuments in the US, I could sense the intense feelings among and between groups regarding these actions. I found my self doing drawings and paintings that reacted to and interpreted the energy and fracturing surrounding this social-political atmosphere.”

Karen Snouffer
“One of my favorite moments in making abstract art is adding a passage of contradiction; among a seemingly collection of wild and random shapes and lines, a phrase of order and pattern appears, a place where the eye and mind can rest. Goofy blobs meet elegant stripes, for example. I see this as a metaphor for life, as we often fill our days with intense layers of psychic disorder while striving to find those moments of beautiful structure, rhythm and balance.”
