Artist statement: I am an Arts supporter – not an artist! RAC members and artists in general could not get along without people like me! – that’s my line but you can use it. To be Arts supporter you need an appreciation of the power and depth the Arts brings to community, a city and area. It is as important as roads, and bridges and pipes in the ground. It is the way in which we look at our world. I do not necessarily create it but I know it’s there and I value those who bring art to my world. This is why I am involved with RAC. I also volunteer here in Steveston, my community with the Steveston Historical Society.
