Artist Statement
Title: Becoming Creators
We are all created. We can all become creators.
This piece represents my belief that with the help of our fellow humans, we can all find some way to make a positive impact in the world… as an artist, writer, journalist, leader, teacher, or inspiration… loudly or quietly… and make a positive impact on humanity.
