Artist Statement

A somnambulist is a sleepwalker. When the word rolls around in my head, it is to the tune of “Pink Elephants on Parade” from the movie, Dumbo–“Somnambulists on parade….” The Pink Elephants’ version is about hallucinations from too much imbibing and fits nicely with my interpretation of addiction and it is the theme of this series. Making sense of the world around me is where my art originates and there I find my solace.
