"The delicious presence of a work of art - its resonances, its epiphanies - is felt only by those who are open to it. Art requires action; passivity is fatal."
— Dominique de Menil

A robust engagement with the arts introduces a combination of beauty and intellectual stimulation to one’s daily life, broadening the horizon of possibility and bridging the gaps between individual and community. My own journey has led me down a variety of paths – a self-produced video series, volunteer caretaking of Texas’ native wildflowers, and more.
