Artist Statement: Mythology is full of witches. Often very good ones. They embody the mysteries of the natural world, cultivating life and working to understand its mysteries. I think our own world's history with Witches is fascinating and tragic. Women who were accused of being witches were often those who had knowledge and skill and evoked jealousy or offense from others. We read often of those who were burned or killed, but not as much as those who did the killing. I think the more we connect with nature, work to understand its wonders, the better off we will be. Everyone should dance in the woods!
