Dear Paul
Welcome to the Arts and Peacebuilding group. I went to your website. Beautiful work. I was especially taken with the poem paintings. I look forward to learning more about you and your work. The Arts and Peacebuilding group is always open to feedback and suggestions as we continue to grow.

I see you live in Burbank. I lived in L.A. for 13 years where I was an art teacher and artist. I miss it!
Best
Cindy
