Creative Dimensions, Inc. by Nancee J. Byington

Agent for Artistic Experiences' Statement
My relationship to creating the work:Revealing my heart…my frailties, dreams and yearnings…is a lifelong quest. It's all about JOY. Sometimes it's the color or mood. Sometimes it's the beauty of what I see. Sometimes it's the boldness of free spirit. Sometimes it's capturing a touch and feel of the visual. Sometimes it's the scent of flowers or great food. And, in everything I do, I yearn for others to see me…the experiences of my life and my own heart..where I've been, what I've done and what I've seen - so I can link with others and find something new as a work of art.
