“I make art in and for the experience itself — to satisfy a need to express myself in a creative, colorful, non-verbal way.”

“There are places we all come from — deep-rooty-common places — that make us who they are. And we disdain them or treat them lightly at our peril.

To empower others in their reaching for some place in the scheme of things.
To do these things is to make fairy tales come true.”
