Norma's artist's statement

My drive seems to come and go like the tide. At times, I frantically paint with an energy that is hard to keep up with. Just as often, I struggle to meet my goals. What motives me to work? Seeing other artist's work. I thrive on watching another artist's process. It drives me forward. I think of how this must have happened with the impressionist painters. They met, talked and compared their artwork. They motivated each other! I think this is a very important aspect of my process. Even though I am nearing the end of my MIS classes, I think it is very important to continue working with my fellow artists.
