BIGUN 1,314 #2 December 7, 2014 Pat, So much work, time and collaboration culminating into another Works' of art. I want to thank you for the many years of joy and introspection I've had looking at "Man as Butterfly" and "Man to Bird." Those two pieces of art have given me many moments of putting things in perspective.Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
