A poetic way to describe a country picnic, the Pastoral Concert is a reflection of a state of mind where arcadian harmony and balance is expressed through the visible and invisible, such as reality and imagination. In her most recent body of work, the artist discusses how the themes of wonder, memory, desire and the power of the unexpected help transcend boundaries in the search for new levels of awareness.
