“I am interested in the beauty of color, with and without form, stretching through our emotions... I dream and search for a never-ending palette to express the world on canvas.  The process of making art amazes me daily and I feel gratitude for the opportunity to convey with my medium the blessings we have been given to live in these human bodies.”                                                  --Jo Bridges
