Thank you so much for taking a moment to visit my webpage. I am so grateful to have been asked to join SelfGrowth! I feel honored to be part of such a diverse and dynamic group of individuals.
The mere fact that anyone found me and invited me to join SelfGrowth is nothing short of a Miracle. I have two books you can order through www.EssentialArt.org by clicking on "Essential Literature" as well as various works of art I sell to raise money in order to fund the community work I strive to do everyday. Before studying art at the Museum of Fine Art in Boston, MA, my undergraduate major was Social Theory and Political Economy. My conclusion went beyond words into every waking breath of trying to live a fuller, complete life by focusing on humanity as a living form of which I am only a tiny part. I need to be the best I can in order that my actions only benefit my surroundings. This is a challenging call that can only be accomplished by the Grace of God alone because as a human, I will inevitably make mistakes.
We are all connected to one another, spiritually, or physically in terms of being neighbors or working in an arena that literally gives our form dimension, nutrition, exercize, photography, etc. Good stewardship and community service is the price we pay for living in a strong community but it does not make me a communist. I proudly support a free market economy and freedom in every form from an oppressive government. It is not a perfect world and there are corrupt individuals in every form of government as well as private sector enterprise. It is my prayer that in the end there are more virtuous people striving to do well and do good along the way.
From what I have seen so far on SelfGrowth, my prayers are being answered. Together we can make the future even better!
The best way to learn about me would be to go to my direct website, www.EssentialArt.org. That front page explains the mission of EssentialArt.org as promoting education through the arts. There are several buttons to visit and learn more about me specifically, as well as my art or my work I do in the community. "Essential History" will take you to a page with my bio on it. "Essential Events"
chronologically lists some events I have been involved in for the past few years. "Essential Literature" lists some of the books I have written and offers a sample page to read as well as a picture of me and author John Updike exchanging our writing. "Essential Products" showcase some of the artistic offerings other than books.
