Message From Artist
I believe there are spiral shapes all around us. The clockwise and the counter clockwise. When the spirals meet, we can create great energy. If we can connect to the universe, we can know the future. That’s because our DNA remembers everything since the universe began. But we can also just enjoy this moment and be happy! October 17th is my 35th year anniversary of being in NY. I thank all my friends and everyone I know for helping me to have a joyful life in NY.
