“I create art to explore elements I react to, emotionally and intellectually. The building blocks I choose for artistic expression are simple – color, shape, line, texture and balance. Being a part of the Landfillart Project added a new dimension …working with a ‘green’ canvas – a used and slightly beat-up hubcap. What a delight to see how many artists have interpreted the same space. Everyday our lives become more complicated. We are in constant motion and thought. Seldom do we find time/take time to reflect on the moment. We forget to pause. In creating art, I hope to create that pause. I hope many find joy is the pause of our collective hubcaps …”Kimberly Schonfeld
