Cherry Blossoms and Vermillion – Memorial to Nanjing. Historical events that became imbedded in my memory as images which wrench themselves out of a place to be revealed. Part of me is still the child listening to stories my mother told me about growing up in a little muddy village in Moldova – a rock fell out of the sky – a great treasure – which she hid – and buried safely in the ground before she came to America. How that story still resonates within me.

sees the world as make-believe
flies to foreign lands and is present while her body sleeps
speaks to the soul of trees
listens to the sea whispers
knows the future and steps there
understands deeply
dances to circle drumbeats with bare feet in night rhythms
connects with all beings
lives another’s story
is all stories
touches ancient earth
messages animals
voices primal music
has no boundaries in stellar spheres
knows the beginning spark of life
walks in death distributing the ashes

Me. That’s what makes me me. And I am not trying to be flippant. There are plenty of people with the same name, but no one else is occupying the exact same space at the same time as me. I am a compendium of my experiences and DNA, and am – like everyone – absolutely unique. I am a jumble of contradictions and happily so. That is what makes me me.

The truth is I am not sure what makes me, Me. I am a bit of an aestheticist, I really like harmony. If you believe that there is any truth in astrology maybe you won’t be surprised to hear that I am a Libra? When it comes to art I love to study non figurative work. Correction, I love art. In all it’s forms, as an expression of what it is to be human, and as a window into the mind.

My friends made me who I am today and they’ve done a lousy job 
Remember! It took billions and billions of years to create you make sure it was worth the trouble. I have had an incredible life I could die today and be happy person. I am dyslexic and I never went to high school not even for one day.

My thought process and actions make me who I am. I am constantly developing myself especially using the creative process to move me forward in life. My life experiences are the focus of my art work. Themes I like are fragility, perceived vulnerability, the inner and outer, concealment and revealed. The notion of self.
