Artist's Statement
Canvas photography is a fairly new form of photographic display. The medium lends itself to a wide genre of viewers, especially when the subject is something as magical as children.
The phenomenon of children at play is often studied, reviewed, and relied on to describe future directions. Children teach us what is most important. They laugh, they play, they believe, and they give hope to any onlooker. They question everything. They are true scientists. They asking what, how, when, and why questions about everything encountered and in so doing they grow.
Indisputably, children are our future. They are who they are and one must respect who they may become.
This particular photographic display will share with: viewers a new or renewed spark for life and living and allow a rediscovery of Joy, excitement, and hope for the future.
