The artist places her right thumb print in her major art works Artist Statement: My collectors, colleagues, family and friends: The passion that runs inside of me to be creative could never be precise and accurate enough thru mere words. It is my enthralling moment to declare a poetic, melodious, lyrical, childlike, primitive direction to my art. I give thanks for the break-thru to you all. All of you are my inspirational OPUS art. Archives in a childlike form will be surfacing.
God Bless You! Love in Christ,
Thank you!
