"Art is man's distinctly human way of fighting death."American Artist
1922 - 2000

| Isaac (1973) |
Some of us have a desire to live forever and look for secrets to preserve our youth. Others consider and even attempt suicide. Some people run from death hoping to escape the long reach of its arms. Others look death in the face and challenge it. None of us will escape.
Creating works of art offer us a way to extend our lives beyond our deaths — to keep our legacy alive. When others read our novels, listen to our songs, or view our paintings, we are given a second chance at life — a second chance to touch the lives of others with the truth as we know it.
Create as if you were dying today. Paint from your heart. Write from the depths of your soul. Sing with all the joy you can muster. None of us know when our time is up — when the light of our life is extinguished so live each moment to the fullest. Enjoy the gifts you have been given. Love those who love you.
