 | PAT'S STATEMENT My goal has always been to play like a kid and never grow up. With time, I do feel more and more like a kid... giggling everyday and laughing more boisterously. As I become more spontaneous in my artistic pursuits, the rigidities of my mind and feelings soften, and my creative impulses sizzle. There is so much more to learn, so much more to do! |
