Notes: dancer, avid reader, traveler ; “I love to paint passionately with all my heart. It is a way to reach the other side of the word, to find meaning and beauty in life, even when things seem empty and beyond comprehension. The forms of painting, color, shape, light and dark, become a language through which I see and resee the world hiding and refinding its beauty.” Harriet Alter
