Artist Statement
In this, the ancient pictograph, petroglyph people have returned to the abandoned village to live close to the earth the way they did in their time. Parenio creates a visual dialog about the earth's frailty and beauty, and her own desire to preserve it. She is a sculptor who paints, using colors and shapes from nature as another way of seeing. Her works are intentionally idiosyncratic-not trivial variations on a theme. She insists that even her 2 dimensional work has dimensions to them!
