"I create my art to promote a kinder, more colorful world that embraces the spirit of wildness. My intention is to illuminate the beautiful truths. I make art that promotes peace, compassion and connection to nature and the best of our humanity. It is my prayer made visible."
"Art can inform us, inspire us, encourage and enlighten us. The present time and culture are tainted with war and violence. As an antidote, our world needs artists more than ever. To create something beautiful and truthful out of nothing proves that human beings can indeed make our world a more inspiring, livable and loving place."____ Marcia Perry
