Louise Kasza
FEBRUARY: Artist Statement
Creating art is an inborn need for me. It is something that is a constant part of my life. We live in a world of speed and instant gratification, often missing the beauty and magical moments of the world around us. I like to harness those moments and the occasional humor they suggest and transform them into art. A memory or a feeling from that memory can often spark the creation of an image as well. It is my objective to bring the pleasures of those being human moments to my viewers.
