Artist's Statement:

Hollis Chatelain's work has always inspired me. I chose Terraced Landscape by Hollis as my inspiration piece because it evoked two areas that interest me. The first being color, the second being movement. Terraced Landscape packed a punch of color that reminded me of France and her lines made me feel movement with the flow of the piece. In my version, I created a realistic setting, with some abstract fabrics and again punches of color. I added the "bling" of crystals and metallic textiles for added spark. I enjoyed creating "French Country" and again thank Hollis for her vision, talent and inspiration provided in Terrace Landscape.
