ARTIST STATEMENT

"I want the viewer to capture a sense of the time period, a sense of tranquility, life at a slower pace. I choose objects that represent nineteenth-century Americana...many are family heirlooms that bring forth a feeling of nostalgia.   I hope that warmth of feeling shows though in the artwork."   P. Flury 2005
