Without light, there would be no eye sight, no vision, no life. Like sunflowers, we turn to the light for strength, courage and inspiration. Through light that we are able to see beauty in this world, especially when dark moments befall. My grandmother always says that I am her light. She often tells how her very fragile and surgery-ruined body started to heal after I was born and came into her care. Almost ninety now, she is healthier and stronger than she was in her twenties. I am now a mother of two little children, I desire to be their light, shining on their path as they cross a dark valley. I summon light with magic wands, my paint brushes. My hope is that my art can shine on your path and bring you joy, strength and hope.
