Artist Statement

My Love,

My flight took off at 7am this morning just as the sun was rising. As I gazed in awe of the snow-capped mountains and the sun rising behind it I was not satisfied with its beauty, because it was not you.

No sun shines as bright in my life as you do. You are there for me even when the sun is sleeping. You give me purpose. You give me light.

I sometimes awake in fear that I will not be able to give in return all that you have given to me. The dreams you play in my mind, the inspiration you give my life, the vision you give me of the potential I possess.

If I believed in myself the way you believe in me I imagine I too could make others believe. If I do what you call me to do, then maybe I could inspire others as well.

For in this life you have taught me that you only get as much as you give. Not that I love you in order to receive, but rather I love you so that I may learn to give.

Love, Serene


Why do I do what I do? I sit staring at the blank page on my computer as I begin to write this. There are so many words that bounce in my mind, but the only truth I could feel was that I love. I love my art. I love theater. How does one put into words the feeling of love? For love is like the wind. You can feel it, you knows its there, but you cannot see it or hold it, you must simply believe. I believe in my love for what I do. I feel privileged to be able to do what I love in this life. My other love is writing letters. I write to my soulmate everyday, and I write to my family and to my pen pal. So I figured the only way I knew how to express an artists statement of what I do is through a love letter. That is what you read above. I hope you too can love something in your life as I do.
