Statements
My art is...
dreamy and distracting,
organic and magic,
gaia and celeste,
heart, mind, body, and voice,
instinctive and expressive,
reflective and responsive,
umbra, penumbra, ad astra, and hope.
2009
“My art relies on your imagination.”
2006
“My hands are my eyes are my hands.”
2008
“Art ... moves people.
It can move people to act to change things that are wrong in the world.
It can influence people's beliefs and ignite paradigm shifts.
It is an essential part of what makes us human.
Through art, we contemplate, share, and learn.
Those who truly experience art in their lives find it very difficult not to live more holistically, passionately, and meaningfully.”
