The Importance of Story

As a child, Christina lived close to the artist studio and gallery of artist and cartoonist, Frank Adams. She would walk to his studio, and quietly peruse his artwork, and sometimes chatted with the artist himself.
Her favorite of his paintings was one in which three buffalo stood in the midst of a solitary plain and stared down at a tiny wooden cross on which hung a baby's bonnet.
It was a sad painting, but it held something that captivated the young girl: it held story.

"I try to encapsulate story into my works. There's something else going on besides a moment captured in time. What is it? The answer to that, is almost entirely up to the viewer. I once painted a fairy poised at a spiderweb where dew drops sparkled. To some viewers the fairy was gathering dew drops, to others she was putting them out. Who am I to say which was 'right'? They both were." ~ C Lo'ren
