"I spent much of my early life in creative activities but as with many people, art eventually took a back seat to more “responsible” pursuits such as education, job, financial obligations, etc. I completely abandoned my efforts to live creatively as I could not see how doing so would allow me to survive in the world. After many years of personal loss and struggle, I eventually came to learn that by silencing an integral part of myself, I had unknowingly turned away from God."

"In allowing the rebirth of my creative self in 2004, I have been able to become reacquainted with the seeming mysteries of myself and have found a process of healing that would not have been possible otherwise. Creating art is a joyous necessity for me that helps me create a sacred life and returns me to the present moment which is where my survival truly lies." --FS
