Poetry and art are some of the world's earliest forms of self-expression. In my mind, one of the greatest benefits of creating either art or poetry is the ability to inspire others- to think, to create, to feel.

For this collaboration with Canvas Corp Brands, we were given the theme of "Something Old, Something New".

Poetry and visual arts ARE both old and new, from the classics to the modern masters. The poem which inspired this piece has a timeless message but was written by a young poet while still in her teens, Erin Hanson.  This is my inspiration in her words:

"There is a freedom waiting for you,
on the breezes of the sky,
And you ask "What if I fall?"
Oh but my darling,
What if you FLY?"
--Erin Hanson
