shadow:  obscurity of light; umbra    

                                                                                                                                                                                           light:  illuminated; luminous; radiant    

                                                                                                                                                                                      art:  the study and creation of beauty.  

For me, art is a rich and passionate love affair, an obsession.     

It can consume and frustrate, sooth and console.     

A voice from somewhere deep inside, it is the place where private thought and intense emotion are allowed free reign,     

 and imagination knows no boundaries.
