Bhínn chomh scoite do gach uile duine agus gach uile rud. Ach anois tá mo shaol chomh lán le ceangaltas éifeacht - le mo shinsear, le mo chairde agus teaghlach, don domhan nádúrtha agus is mise páirt de. Mhothaínn chomh i m'aonair ach anois mothaim chomh lán leis na bronntanais naofa, cairdeas agus gaol le gach uile rudaí. Déanaim ealaín a smaoineann ar an cruthaitheach mo shinsir, naofacht nádúir, iontais spioradáltachta, fotografaíochta de mo dúiche pharthais, filíocht na draíochta a fheicim sa saol seo. An ceangal a thugann mo cruthaitheach le daoine eile ligadh mé a fheiceáil nár mé i m'aonair i mo mheas don draíocht i tsaol. Céimim sa mo seema tosaigh chomh lán le mo h-ealaín de chomh mhéid comhairlí, diaga, nádúrtha, agus speisialta agus smaoiním do healaín. Tháinig me ar ealaín déanach go leor agus is iontach an mothúcháin ceangaltais le chomh mhéid daoine iad a thabhairt sonas ina tuiscint mo hoibre a dhéanaim le sonas mór. Mar a dúirt cara le déanaí, is slí iontach ealaín cibé ionainn amach sa domhan, ailcheimic de smaoineamh grinn folaithe a athrú i saolta sa domhain fíor.
I used to be so disconnected to everyone and everything. But now my life is so full of meaningful connections - to my ancestors, to my friends and family, to the natural world of which I am part. I used to feel so alone but now I feel so full up with the sacred gifts of the world, that of friendship and kinship with all things. I do art that reflects my ancestors creativity, the sacredness of nature, the wonder of spirituality, photography of my paradise homeplace, poetry of the magic I see in this life. The connection my creativity gives to others lets me see that I am not alone in my appreciation of the magic in life. I step into my front room so full of my art of so many influences - divine, natural and social and think of my art on walls in so many places. I came to art late enough and it is a great feeling of connection to have with so many people to give them joy in their appreciation of my work, which I do with great joy. As a friend said recently, art is an amazing way to put what is inside of us out in the world, an alchemy of transforming hidden subtle thoughts into material in the real world.
