Art and Soul

Art making is my way of bringing soul back into my life. Soul is the place where the messiness of life is tolerated, where feelings animate the narration of life, where story exists. Soul is the place where I am replenished and can experience both gardens and graveyards. Art is my way of knowing who I am. Pat Allen

Curing is the work of experts, but strengthening the life in one another is the work of human beings. . . . Sometimes the deepest healing comes from the natural fit between two wounded people’s lives. It makes one wonder about the source of such healing.
