i make art. i make art and encourage others to make more art. i make art that solely reflects everything: you, me, my patients in the hospital, dead things, toys, war, space, feminism, love and crutches. From a laceration to the cross of an Ash Wednesday observer—I find art and sanity. Creating is my home. It is a place where I can teach, learn, laugh and love. We all are art to me.
