The Chloris Chrysalis

by Kathy Freeman-Hastings

"My inspiration is the emergence and bounty of spring’s new growth in my garden. I find it reminiscent of the school of surrealism, due to the juxtaposition of intriguing textures and oddness of content. Also the definition of art is: the activity of creating beautiful things. Thus, the creative process is the essence and should be considered art."
