Carmen Gripper
American, Born 1987
Windy, 2020
"This piece came about as I made the decision to follow my dreams and step into the artistic pathway that has always been before me. I had the desire to be so inundated with God's creativity that it's all I can see, hear, smell, taste, and feel. Until it's the only way by which I can live and all that I can give. Windy is the visual image of that thought." - Carmen
