I cannot tell you how I feel. Art was a secret I kept as a kid, along with reading and playing chess. I grew up in a neighborhood called Peachtree Community Housing.  When out of the house I changed my speech. I held my body to signify aggression not fear.  I fought to show I was strong. I held my head high and made eye contact. I never crossed to the other side of the street.

In my house I was free. I spent hours painting and drawing. I could live in fantasy.  I found an escape an out. Creativity, the act of making was a spiritual experience. I found a connection to something outside myself and I found a sliver of serenity.
