Art helped him learn to walk again. In this way he feels that his art is not solely his. It is his humble gift from the universe meant to be shared with all for having been given a second chance at life.”My inhale is intended to absorb and appreciate all the bounty of beauty that surrounds me. My exhale is to breathe life into my emotions and stories using color shape and sound. If you stop to look I have fulfilled my purpose. I try to enjoy every thing every person and every minute of every day then I win at the game of life… or at least I go down swinging and smiling. One love. Namaste.”-bkabstract”
