I believe that Art has the capacity to heal and provide hope for a better today and a beautiful tomorrow. Challenging us to see many points of view. Educating and evolving us all the while. As Thich Nhat Hanh wrote, “There is only one moment for you to be Alive and that is the Present Moment.” There is no greater time than Now to be an Artist and human being living in this world. For we have the power within us to stand to see, write, create, and be the change we wish to see in our world. Love Peace Harmony and Great Compassion to us all. - Rodney Hicks, Artist and human being in this world
