Artist's Statement:
CredoI believe in art.
I do not believe in the “art world” as it is today. I do not believe in art as a commodity. Great art is in exquisite balance. It is restorative. I believe in the energy of art, and through the use of that energy, the artist’s ability to transform his or her life and, by example, the lives of others. I believe that through our art, and through the projection of transcendent imagery, we can mend and heal the planet.Statement courtesy of Audrey Flack Other Occupation(s):
