ART WITH POETRY
Over time, poetry and art have become wonderful collaborators and these are the times I love the best. From cute and simple hand-made items to the more complex, unique mixed media art pieces, I love the careful piecing together of various images, interesting papers and mixed media to become the visual representation of my poetry. The catalyst for this love of collaboration comes entirely from helping create the SENSE OF WONDER art installation.
Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen
