M. Paige Schrock - You Asked Me What It Felt Like (2025)

40x40 Mixed Media on Canvas 

I strangle my words as easily as I do my tears. I stifle
my screams as frequently as I flash my smile. It means
nothing. I am cotton candy on a rainy day the unrealized
dream of an idea unborn. I share with painters the desire
to put three-dimensional picture on a one-dimensional
surface. -Nikki Giovanni, Cotton Candy on a Rainy Day
