NARRATIVES
“As an artist, I affirm life one painting at a time. I use my eyes, yet endeavor to create from my heart as much as possible. I use my hands to make faith with each piece, to mark my work with a re-confirmation of hope, as a sign to myself that I am willing to believe in the future, willing to live beautifully.”
—C. THYSELL
