"Art has become a method for hacking my inner fire wall, transcending the pre-frontal cortex of my brain which keeps me from readily accessing the ocean of consciousness that is available in other states such as those of meditation, dreaming, out of body experience, plant medicines, and cosmic awe. Making my art has granted me gradual access to a more integrated and multidimensional reality.

    I think the most powerful thing we can accomplish with our work is to inspire each other to accept responsibility for the liberation of oneself from the conditioning we receive from excessive television and media bombardment, social institutionalization, and corporate-political persuasion. We could help each other re-program ourselves from the genetic trauma and survival programming that we've accepted in our life-walk and We can once again learn to articulate the vibrational reality that is Home. We can create and inspire new visions of old truths and We can rekindle the remembrance of Oneness.

    A positive contribution for our fellow humans would be to change the way we understand and relate to the creative life force inside ourselves. Life Energy and Creative Energy are one and the same. And it is through the free flowing energy of creativity that we can begin to scratch the surface of understanding the many layers, tones, and vibrations that make up our experiences and perceptions."
