"The Power to Dream," is a lyric from a Patti Smith song, because I feel there is a very specific connection between art, dreams, emotions, states of consciousness and healing. Patti's own work as an artist has been very powerful to my work as an artist and for my healing and I met her in Berlin back in 2009 when we were two of only a very few Americans to be invited to have our film's premiere at the Berlinale. The artists in our exhibition, THE POWER TO DREAM are individuals whose work has greatly impacted me and my own mental and physical well-being or who I felt were important to be among the conversation. And many of these incredible artists have created a painting especially with the theme of the show in mind.Within art, whether making it or living with it, is the power for mental and physical healing, and I believe that the amount of healing possible is limited only by our ability or power to dream.
