You, The Artist

Have the power to speak

The language of the mind, heart, and soul…

With or without words

You speak the unspeakable

You penetrate through emotional barriers

And, strip down emotional defenses

You can touch the untouchable

And, reach into corners of the mind

That everyday language can’t

It’s through the language of arts

That you, The Artist can:

Shine a light upon what we resist to see

Validate our most humane experiences

Bringing us together through humor

Assert and fight for a noble cause

Challenge us to face fears, doubts, limitations

Instill courage and hope…

You, the Artist transform minds and the world

Through the power of your imagination

Thank You!

And, this is why I am passionate about working with artists – so they can continue to create and share themselves with the world.
