ARTIST STATEMENT

Imagine a shy and homely girl, who did not have opinions of her own, whose perceptions and values were borrowed from a community of international cultures, and who saw colors in a rainbow and in flowers—not in one’s skin.

Imagine a young woman who discovered her name had a meaning, and the world defined her by her culture—not by her character.

Imagine a young mother who wanted to create an environment that was safe, where ideas are allowed, where culture is nourished, where service is encouraged, and where love is the music of the home.

Imagine an artist, who interprets her life’s experiences by creating works of art which invite one to ponder the ideas of diversity, unity, labels, acceptance, generosity, understanding, music and love.

If you can imagine . . . then, perhaps, you may discover my definition of “Home.”
