"This is something that women and children - well and men, too, that have been abused, neglected, or otherwise controlled by something or someone so much so that they are victim, that they feel they have no life control.  This work gives them back some control."

"I will travel with this work to places, women's centers, children's groups, community celebrations or anyplace the people wouldn't really have any contact with fine art."

"I will invite them to change the pieces - build what THEY want."

"The work is for the angels of the world who have lost their voice.  I am attempting to give them back just a bit of it...."

"We are taught that art is for looking but never touch.  It is something that just a few talented people are lucky enough to be good at, and the rest of us can dabble but really we don't interact."
