When coping with life’s traumas, we are often told to take baby steps or to live one day at a time. This is good advice, but not just for when we are suffering. We each have years behind us and hopefully years ahead of us, but we can only live today. Today is what we can truly see in detail; this moment is what we can affect; now is when we can live.  Take a step today.

 

I come from a long line of artisans and crafters. I am a mixed media sculptor, an emerging artist but an experienced human. As a creature of opposites, I constantly struggle to integrate chaos with logic, gravity with freedom, reality with dreams. My work is constantly evolving because of my desire and choice to live a life of purpose.

To quote Walt Whitman: 

 

That you are here – that life exists and identity, 

 That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse. 

 

This is my verse.
