ARTIST STATEMENT - SHENA SLOBODA
Shena Sloboda - Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, USA
The artist's primary focus has remained impressionism throughout her career. Despite the typical daily chaos of working and family life she derives peace from the beautiful environment of the Eastern Upper Peninsula. The traditional birds, boats, and beaches of the U.P. provide her inspiration, as well as the skylines, pensive moments, and mundane drives during which one often finds silent meditation.
