Benita loves the ambiguity of abstract art. Because her art does not attempt to represent actual reality, the viewer must bring their own perspectives to the art. Are those leaves, seaweed, locks of hair, or strips of fabric blowing in the breeze? Is it meant to evoke joy, sorrow, or curiosity?

Albuquerque's sky and landscape inspired Carolyn to express the natural beauty of the desert on canvas. Her abstract paintings reflect a deepening awareness of painting intuitively, giving the viewer a glimpse of the colors. shapes and forms she experienced after moving to New Mexico.
