“For me, the artist’s responsibility is to keep the temple (body, mind & spirit) clear, clean, and open, by being aware and
keeping watch over what enters it mentally and physically. When it is so tuned the creative impulses can be fully
received and reflected to the highest degree, where line, form and color define a space that the viewer can feel with their
heart, explore with the eyes, and contemplate with the mind. In my work I want to startle the mind and jumpstart the
imagination.” – AC
