 Art shows me the world I want to see, reveals how I want to live. The process of making art teaches me to live better. Putting creations into the world helps me express what's going on inside me, in my life, what I observe in this world, my beliefs when I find it impossible to do so face to face. By sharing the work I make, I can make myself vulnerable in a way that opens me up to connect with others through empathy, and them to each other. When I see art that inspires me, I am reminded of our condition, our world, the irrevocable sense of beauty and truth in each moment. pay attention to how skin lays over bones laugh at jokes let the desert sand tension that's accumulated into rhino's tough hide dissolve to feathery gossamer what animal am I now? dream more daydream night dream look people in the eye when we talk listen with whole body there is time for planning and there is time for presence  What animal am I now?

Occasional posts also invite you into the way I work, with intermittent notes on the hows and whys on the whats I make. Less often you may also find prompts and processes I've brought to workshops, as well as surveys that help me gather material for projects.
