View From Apartment #601 was born in an attempt by the artist to explain the concept of faith to her small child who questioned the intention of seemingly tragic events:

“Look out this window. What do you see? Now let's go look out the one on the other side of the building. Everything looks different, doesn't it? Imagine being able to look out every window in this whole building. What about every window, in every building, on this block? Then every building in this city, then every city in the world. What will the view out this same window look like in 20 years? What about in 200 years, or 2000 years? Faith is realizing that you and I don't have enough information to understand why things happen sometimes, because we can only see out one window at a time.”

“My generation watched Neil Armstrong land on the moon, and children dreamt of becoming astronauts; or maybe cowboys, ballerinas or Joe Namath. I dreamt of becoming an artist since I held my first crayon. Children don’t suppress their dreams or basic desires – they burst into rooms, they skip down sidewalks, hop on one foot, sing loudly and dance without music. I want some of that; in fact, I want everyone to have some of that. Without even realizing it, we become safe and proper and correct and careful, and even cynical. My work is about letting go of that – It’s an expression of dancing through life, allowing oneself to sing inside, to be delighted and laugh. My vibrant palette dares the viewer to live life with passion and fire and energy; it’s a reminder to just lighten up sometimes. The work is about celebrating life, it’s about coming alive . . . it’s about bursting into rooms to dance without music.”
