"Breaking cycles is about healing. It's about tearing apart the negative and seeing the beauty in yourself. Through color and form I want to explore the human experience. Life can seem like a truly exhausting series of arduous events and demands, yet it can be punctuated with pure kindnesses, simple pleasures and inspiring beauty.

I use various tools to “paint” or mark the paper, and then rip paintings to represent the wounds of life's challenges. I glue the piece back together forming metallic scars of healing. If we can learn to integrate our lessons, then maybe we will be able to find a beautiful wholeness."-Rose
