ART THERAPY

ART THERAPY.

Art soothes the soul.

Living a creative life is quite the challenge. Although I would have it no other way.

My life up to this point has been filled with many obstacles to overcome.

I can sit here today and say that I am grateful for every single bump in the road.

I sometimes think to myself, what would my life look like if I never left Troy New York.
Not saying anything is wrong with being from and growing up in Troy.

I just knew for me to continue on my journey I had to go on the road.

 That is what I did almost 28 YEARS AGO.

There have been many sacrifices that I have had to make in order to live my life they way I have been living.

Some people throughout the years have said to me WHAT ARE YOU RUNNING FROM?
A friend of mine when I was living back east at The Shore, he said to me I do not see you running from, I seeing you RUNNING TO.

Art has been a part of my life my whole life........I have always been interested in the arts and expressing myself creatively.

IT IS THE ONLY THING THAT KEEPS ME GOING.

I look at many people and the way they exist in the world and I say there is no way I could do that or would want to do that........My observation of many people is they are not really living. NOT FULLY. NOT TRULY, NOT REALLY.

So many people are STUCK......I say that because I was one of those people at one point.

My life has been over the past number of years all about learning and challenging myself to grow.

GROWING PAINS ARE NOT ALWAYS EASY.......BUT THEY ARE NECESSARY IN LIFE.

I am back in Los Angeles and getting ready to open my first SOLO ART SHOW THIS WEEK.
Very excited for the opportunity tto show my work and have people see the world through my eyes and  get a chance to see my process as I try to CREATE BEAUTY IN THE WORLD.

Thank you for coming on the journey. Often times we are on our JOURNEY ALONE. THAT IS OK.

I WISH ALL OF YOU THE JOURNEY OF YOUR DREAMS.
REMEMBER IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THAT YOU FIRST HAVE TO HAVE A DREAM FOR YOUR LIFE.

Peace and Blessings.

SAVING SUE

SAVING SUE.

A CALL TO ACTION.

This past week has been an emotionally challenging one.

A hometown /high school girlfriend was just diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer which has moved to her lymph nodes as well.

I HATE CANCER. FUCK YOU CANCER.

In case you did not hear me, I said FUCK YOU CANCER.

Two wonderful woman jumped into action and have begun a fundraising campaign to fly our dear friend Suzanne Morris Ferrara to Atlanta for a intense 15 day treatment at The Living Food Institute Clinic.


The first three days of the campaign were AMAZING almost $9000 raised.
We are now up over $12000. Things have slowed down. We need to keep the moment going.
THERE IS AN URGENCY HERE. Please & Thank you.

MOVING MOUNTAINS.

A huge outpouring of LOVE & SUPPORT.

Everyone doing what they can to save our friend. Reaching out and pleading for donations.

I have reached out to all of my face book friends. A few have generously donated who have never met Sue. They have showed compassion towards a mother and her children.

Some have donated anonymously.

To you silent supports. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

I wish none of you out there ever need to call on your friends or even strangers to help save either yours or a family members life.

But if you do. I hope that people whether they know you and your family have compassion and reach out. REMEMBER THIS COULD BE YOUR MOTHER,SISTER,WIFE OR LOVED ONE.

WE ARE ALL CONNECTED.
