| 'To have a choice of a life with
art or life with knowledge, as not everyone can
have that choice, we know. I know that, I should

thankful. as I had that choice and having gone through
my life as a graphic artist I wanted to capture
the beauty of the world with admiration for the
nature and achievements of all men kind.' |

name for amber, that beautiful "electric

and completely unintentional.'
