I'm feeling the urge to say thank you to every artist who has ever had the courage to express from the deepest truest depths of their true nature. For all those who lived before me that have laid the path with a bread crumb trail of inspirations from the cave painters to the plain's basket weavers and the potters gathering soft wet mud along the river banks. To the petroglyph carvers and the cathedral masons, to the anonymous voices rising up since time began following the inner voice to 'take a line for a walk' and to collect the berries, stones and ores that became the colors that we treasure yet.

I'm so over-flowing grateful to be able to follow this path and to share our hearts and rub shoulders with such a grand contemporary community of maverick souls. Artist souls willing to risk being no-part of the main stream and leaning into the real reason they have been born instead...to create create create in a way that may not ever have been seen before...and which, we trust, will act as inspiration for those young artists who follow...breaking their own rules and creating their own view of the world...what a grand tradition.

Thank full I am.
