I am truly honored to be a recipient of the “Special Friends” membership award among incredibly talented and intuitive artists. Your initiative, Renee, is part of an ongoing collective effort to expand consciousness. The late Freeman Dyson wrote, “The evidence for a new Age of Wonder would be a shift backward in the culture of science, from organizations to individuals, from professionals to amateurs, from programs of research to works of art”.
Thank you.
