Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Roberta Begaye

My story starts with a blank canvas with "a vision" and an ending not yet determined. An ending not yet determined because "the vision" tends to change throughout the creation, whether it is completed in a couple of hours or months as it was set aside because the vision changed in the process and I have to wait to see it again. Each layer of color and stroke of the paintbrush can take it in a new direction and "the vision" begins to unfold in front of me as it is being painted.
