Angela Michielutti

Artist Statement

As often as possible I take a walk along the shore of Lake Michigan. There is something to marvel at each time. The surf leaves ever-transforming lines and patterns in the sand. These are a source of wonder and awe for me.

This image is one such discovery, taken during a walk along the shore. What a delight to discover this impressive impression in the sand.
