Each of us has traveled a different path to get to this studio and this point of time. I believe each one of us is doing the best we can with what we have been given. Some of us have obvious gifts. Some of us have gifts hidden behind disabilities. Some of us have gifts masquerading as dysfunctional traits and character flaws. A gift is, very much, in the observer's interpretation and viewpoint. I declare that we all have gifts - expressions of us that can enlighten, expand, and enrich others.

I expect you to respect and even cherish your differences. I desire you all to have open eyes and hearts to different ways of being. Each one of us is a window and a light to each other. Each one of us expands the possibilities to each other of living fuller happier lives.
