QUOTES

"Being an artist is not just about making art...It is about delivering the vision one is given…and about doing the right thing without sparing oneself."

"My work cuts through racial, class, geographic, and ethnic separations to directly connect to the heart, mind, and emotion with people.”

Art is not what I do, but it is what I am. To be an artist is a total commitment. What you call entrepreneur I call the life of an artist.

“When I see brokenness, poverty and crime in inner cities, I also see the enormous potential and readiness for transformation and rebirth. We are creating an art form that comes from the heart and reflects the pain and sorrow of people's lives. It also expresses joy, beauty, and love. This process lays the foundation of building a genuine community in which people are reconnected with their families, sustained by meaningful work, nurtured by the care of each other and will together raise and educate their children. Then we witness social change in action.”
