Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA - The wild and luridly rendered paintings in "Pulling Weeds From a Cactus Garden" reflect the dark side of human interaction and alienation. Just like the act of pulling weeds from a cactus garden, it's tricky, and you can't do it without getting hurt. These dark tales of hazard deliver beauty and humor from otherwise threatening situations. The result - visual allegories more nourishing and easily digested than the circus of life around us.
Told from a woman's point of view, themes of alienation, struggle between our inner and outer worlds, and expectations of reality are the center of these hazardous tales. Characters represent threats in a dystopian environment. They are symbolic tropes, finding themselves in moments of confrontation with themselves or those around them.
R.Crumb, in ...
... a personal letter to Nathalie Tierce, wrote, "You are a genuine visionary artist with a direct line to your subconscious."
