Don’t Look At Us by Kathryn Carroll I, like many others, have strange dreams that are haunting, colorful, wondrous, terrifying, and beautiful. I find my inspiration in dreams, and take leave from the real world and find myself in a world all my own. In my work I try to give the dreams that haunt me life. I hold the images in my head for as long as it takes to get a paint brush in my hand. My work is often nonsensical and ambiguous in terms of meaning or message. I want to leave the door open, so people who see it can make their own story up. I like to classify my work as an escape as I find much of the real world to be too heavy at times. By taking light and fantasy oriented subject matter and mixing it with a touch of darkness, I find ways to get the point across that not all dreams are good. -K.C.
