Artists Statement 

Russian Proverbs  2018 - 2019

Russian Proverbs is a politically inspired thematic installation of 14 mixed media assemblages on canvas and wood, satirizing the morality, ethics, and behavior of our current White House. 

While watching the Helsinki Summit this past July and observing the performance by, and dynamic between, our current president and the Russian president, the phrase ‘one good turn deserves another’ popped into my head as an apt description of the event.  Curious about the origin of that phrase, and wondering if by chance it might be Russian (it’s not), my research yielded an unexpected and serendipitous treasure trove of Russian proverbs, dozens of which were uncannily relevant to my sentiments about our president and his administration.  So began the Russian Proverbs series. 

 I am continuing to explore the expressive potential of this series.
