One of my favorite Quotes
This quote pretty much sums up the reason that I make art and how I attach meaning to my work. I'm excited to share my love of art with the students at Cypress this year and hope that they gain a new sense of purpose as they create their own works of art. Below you will find the quote and also some images from a recent trip to New Mexico:
ABOVE ALL ELSE,
IT IS ABOUT LEAVING A MARK
THAT I EXISTED: I WAS HERE.
I WAS HAPPY. I WAS SAD.
I WAS IN LOVE. I WAS AFRAID.
I WAS HOPEFUL.
I HAD AN IDEA AND I HAD A PURPOSE.
THAT IS WHY I MADE WORKS OF ART.
