Intro

An artifact of being human and interacting with the world, art-making is an attempt to
give form to the experience of being alive.

Art-making is a centering, grounding experience, communing with the here and now,
with life as we know it.

The realm of art gives us permission to tap our uniqueness as we express ourselves within
the parameters of a particular medium.

Art is a means of sharing what is beyond words: the mystery of life.
