LIGHTFUL - ARTIST STATEMENT
I express my feelings, reflections, and affirmations through fiber, light, and poetry. During the continuous journey of bringing these positive glow light beams to life, I contemplate on the way I live and move throughout my life. We have many deep relationships with oneself, with others, our thoughts, our flowing intentions, our experiences, and our union with nature. By way of the human connection, we share our stories that narrate what we understand, the lessons learned, deep down what we believe, our true feelings, and our past, present, and future beings. I choose to contribute energy and communicate my insights through creativity and positivity.
The light has many forms.
It’s the light bulb in my head,
It’s the light we share with each other.
It’s the light I acknowledge within.
It’s the light I see naturally.

Getting ready for tonight.
What shall I wear so that I feel divine?
Butterflies inside,
Pep talking my mind.
I am divine, stay true to my design.
Trust myself, have fun, and shine.
We come together and take a seat.
I can feel the love of my heart beat.
Vibrations through the CANDLELIGHT.
We start to see what each other likes.

The glow of EARTHLIGHT shines far and wide.
It comes from the sun, connects with the earth
And bounces onto the moon.
Just as humans do,
We reflect light on each other.
Whether it’s a bright light or dim light,
Light is bouncing from one to another.
Sharing light is the key
For all of us to truly see
Our presence as it is,
Our being is all the same.
Living this life we were gifted to live,
Sharing kindness and knowledge,
That is our calling.

Fortunate to be taught,
Now it’s our time to teach.
It’s our role to ENLIGHTEN
So all of us can breach.
For all of us to grow,
For us to be the best version of we.
Possibilities are there,
We just need to connect and share.
Better together,
Our minds will be better
For generations forever.

Struck like LIGHTNING.
You’re a force to be reckoned with.

And make right what should be.
You’re a positive charge,

And not afraid to see and be
The change that needs to be freed.
We thank you for your presence
And you’re awe-inspiring luminescence.

Stretched through the tensions,
And you’re here now.

And now the LIMELIGHT is on you.

Late nights workin’.
Late nights playin’.
A night owl naturally.
I look up and the MOONLIGHT shines on me.
Just me and the moon,
I reveal my true tune.
As I look up at the moon,
I know you’re looking up too.
Let us bask in the MOONLIGHT,
Near or afar.
It’s never an au revoir,
But a full reservoir
Of feeling love and knowing,
That no matter where or who you are,
We can both look up at the moon.

A positive sign,
When you’re in need of a sign,
A SKYLIGHT appears.
Possibilities are suddenly clear.
I may be standing here,
Soon I’ll be flying there.
Through the glass ceiling.
The journey will be healing.
The journey will be revealing.
I will have all kinds of feelings.
I’ll continue to elevate,
Love myself, lift people up,
And be great!

That moment at TWILIGHT,
A time to await the morning,
A time to shift for the night.
A time to transition and to mentally write...
Good morning, beautiful.
What do we have today in sight?
And then...
What a great day, beautiful.
What are you grateful for, and
What’s in store for tonight?
A time to energize.
A time to reflect.
A time to just be.
A time to connect.
