Artist Statement
Drawing and painting have always been a way of expressing herself. Nature is her primary source of inspiration. Painting for Gro is a meditative state of being, where she connect to the elements and the rhythm of nature, weaving dreams and visions into her artwork. Gro's idea of the intention of doing art is to be able to communicate that all things are connected with one another and to the universe. The interconnectedness of all things in nature represents a deep unity within herself. She also considers her work as a teacher bringing the language of colors to the viewer and hope for the future. She likes to think of her paintings as gifts from the spiritual realm revealed after journey to the land of introspection. Welcome to traces of Gro's vision.
