Dear family,friends,,patrons and collectors of my artwork,

It has been awhile since my last newsletter, so I thought I would share all the exciting news today.

Just received pictures of Kimono #26 as it is installed at UC Irving Hospital CA. This is the first 

artwork  of what I hope to be many in hospitals. I am so grateful to the hospital and J.D. Assoc.

Currently working on the Peace Prevails Project Phase II, a public interactive art installation. 

My team is starting with seeking support from a non profit organization to run the project through. 

and grant support. Let me know if you have any suggestions of possibilities.

 Phase II involves casting the bodies of artist/healers representing each of the 7 continents

 for life sized sculptures with their voice in their language with words of peace.  Included will be

 the artwork of these artists and a show of my artwork  “Wrapping Ourselves in Peace”. Included

 will be activities for the public to create peace artwork, write letters of peace to the United Nations 

and more.  To keep in touch with the progress of the project  go to this blog….

as humans can adapt. Learning how to type lefte handed.  I am so very glad that I now have 3
