I paint when I am happy. I paint when I am sad. Painting doesn’t change how I feel — it gives me a chance to be present in whatever it is that my life demands of me. I pray for my hands and my eyes so that I may never lose the courage to be present, the courage to surrender. Thank you for being here. Here is where I am learning how to paint as I am learning how to express myself. Here is where I am discovering my art as I am discovering myself.
