When my son was born I began to reflect in more depth about the connectedness of various elements and issues that were present in my life. The fullness that his presence brought into my life served to heighten my awareness regarding other aspects that had been missing. During my pregnancy, I began to create again. As my soul opened to the mystery of creation and life, it once again searched for a means through which to express its experiences. Using magic markers, crayons, and any other cheap material that I could get my hands on, I once again chose to capture and recreate the bits and pieces of my life through art. I was making sense of my world in a way that began to move me forward. Symbols and images made their way through my crayons and onto the construction paper whose commodity became like gold.
