“I work in Visual Poetry in which the outer continues into the inner, the visible into the invisible and everything is everywhere simultaneously. Awe, the gateway to the spirit keeps me dancing and making things. Empathy keeps us human. When life makes no sense I try to remember to celebrate the moment.”
