      and my! what a colorful history you have. All those amazing things you’ve done. I so get what you mean about the court cases. Mums an interpreter for court cases and asylum seekers and she’s always sick and run down. It does take a toll on you if you’re not super centered and extra vigilant.

Art Statement

When I take the time to look and to really see and to apply my "foolish" imagination, there are worlds within worlds within worlds to be discovered.
