The artist's statement was:  "There's a constant burning in my brain to produce, produce, produce. I can only do so much in the time given and yet, wonderfully, there is always another spark of creativity ready to be ignited. Much like an eternal flame, passion for the job never wanes."


Here are three in a series by Catherine Kleeman, they look great hung together.
"No Way Out" Catherine Kleeman - Maryland - 2011

"Round the Bend"  Catherine Kleeman - Maryland - 2014
