Flowers, 1997
-1999 Encouragement Award

-1998 State Fair Exhibit

Dedicated to Ms. B. Flowers, Maya Angelou's poetry teacher, who helped Maya find her buried and wounded voice so that she could later write:

..."Take (the dream)
into the palm of your hands,
Mold it into the shape
of your most
Private need.
Sculpt it into
The image of
your most public self.
Lift up your hearts
Each new hour
holds new chances
For a new beginning"...

-Dr. Maya Angelou, Jan. 1993, On the Pulse of Morning
