"Life is full of opportunity and richness if we open our eyes and breathe in the possibilities each morning. To take a moment to listen to the sounds of a city, to hear buzzing dragonflies swirl and zoom in a country dusk sky, to watch vertical gray rain soak the plowed earth, flavors life with unforgettable experiences that one
cannot help but bring into his/her artistic expression. Creativity, at its best, can be a source of inexplicable joy for the freedom of expression of that which is our essence. I do not believe I’ll ever be done with my wish list of creative interests.. and that suits me just fine, so long as I continue to live with creativity as a priority. The journey of life is to be treasured yet devoured and downright used up, each and every precious second, with the wild passion of heart and soul that seeks to be heard in all of us.

'Sharing our knowledge willingly with each other allows a personal connection as strong as steel, and everlasting...as fresh as the day it was forged. A genuine interest in easing the struggles we all face, and with just a kind word, is not easily forgotten, and our innermost circle is populated with others with whom we feel this most comfortable bond of assurance and acceptance. The jewels in the crown of my MassArt years were the friendships I was fortunate to have made, that are strong and intact this many years later, and the interest and support from family is a treasure thousand fold. I have found that I need to share art experiences, that it’s a lonely world without people to share the excitement and awesomeness of life. And to discover the gift of creativity is to understand that with so much pain and diistress in the world, one can make a considerable difference with his/her passion, radiating outward to others in the world with confidence to

create, learn, share.”
