Kari Duke
Artist’s Statement
“I find the reflections in the puddles after a heavy rain or the play of light on the old fences to be an exciting subject matter. The naked trees in winter, the deep snow, and the simplicity of the old back alleys in changing seasons, is what draws me in time and time again.”
