Artist's Statement

Ikebana, a Japanese art of flower arrangement. Literally meaning, 'living-alive-standing flowers.'

My senses also being ways to communicate on a creative level, expresses an openness of the heart to come through, bringing the natural indoors and allow it to penetrate our living spaces through ikebana, photography and painting." -Sylvia

"Love is the force behind the will of God. I'm not suggesting the kind of love that we define as affection or sentiment. Nor is this kind of love a feeling that seeks to please and press favors on others. Imagine a kind of love that is the power of intention, the very energy that is the cause behind all of creation. It's the spiritual vibration that carries divine intentions from formless to concrete expression. It creates new form, changes matter, vivifies all things, and holds the cosmos together beyond time and space. It's in every one of us. It is what God is."
-from The Power of Intention by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
