Artist's Statement

Visual and performing artists produce art that lives in the present world. The art of the writer exists in another dimension. Through strings of words and phrases, writers inspire their readers to imagine, to conjure images, to suspend disbelief, to enter a world visible only in their minds. It is in that unseen world where the art of the writer lives
