Kalidio is my play on the word "kaleidoscope".
This optical instrument when rotated it creates a
succession of symmetrical designs based on the interplay of light, reflection and color.
Most flowers are dynamic symmetrical shapes constantly shifting colors and patterns.
They are like happy "living-kaleidoscopes" flashing bits of color!

    Lisa, do you ever write poetry? I think you have such a beautiful way with words. You describe your art in terms almost as expressive and colorful as the art itself!
    Will I see you tonight?
    Love,
    L

Art Statement

When I take the time to look and to really see and to apply my "foolish" imagination, there are worlds within worlds within worlds to be discovered.

When I allow my eyes to be excited and fascinated and pleased at what they see, I begin a journey, inventing a path to the place I choose to go; and magic happens!
