Artist Statement:
I heard a writer say once that how we experience life is an illusion and that the purpose of art is to uncover reality. Indeed, reality seems quite like a set of unturned cards, and I'm not sure we can define it until after our hand has been played.

In my paintings people can fly, plants and people merge, women wear snorkels while making love. For me, these images hint at reality, opening a back door to the underlying truth of what I see and experience. By painting things in a magical light, the illusion starts to give way to the real in the same way that madness sometimes serves to define sanity. --Lynette Vought
