Artist's Statement The landscape of all we have seen exists within us. The physical reality of nature and the concept of nature as we perceive it in our minds exists separately. Yet, there is a connecting point between the two. Where perhaps a hybrid reality emerges. This result from a joining of private feeling combined with day-to-day images is what I attempt to paint. The merger of internal and external nature creates a refuge and "true refuge is where everyone meets." Katagiri Nancy Fletcher Cassell, 2003
