# Cover Artwork: Mystic Mosaic

## Artist Statement

As a multimedia artist and art educator, one area of my research involves exploring the interdisciplinary nature of visual art and poetically narrated film dealing with the majesty and mystical quality of mountains. To this end, a storyboard entitled *Mystic Mosaic* was created as a master plan for matching my script with images and producing an orderly sequence for preparing animations and soundtrack.
