Dumpster was created as part of a series of paintings about the color green in Seattle. Because Seattle is referred to as The Emerald City, I decided t o explore that notion for myself. When I set out to do the show, I was interested primarily in the grass, trees and shrubs, but I could not resist including the green Waste Management dumpster, and of course accenting it with a turquoise green wall. –Artist statement
