In life, some Artists represent everyone except themselves. Their images or talents are a rare but important connection to something ancient, historical, or many times something prophetically spoken whose time is now. BRUNI's work is a passage or journey, if you will, that transcends the canvas and speaks, saying...Let there be LIFE! Whether past, present, or future each rendering lives creating a connection to her soul...if you don't believe me....check it out.
...Regis Brown - Chief Creative Officer of LifeAfter Films
You find two extremes usually as cliches. One is that, "Oh, you’re a painter? Isn’t that wonderful. You’re sensitive. You’ve got all those wonderful, beautiful thoughts." And the other is "You’re a little crazy, aren’t you?"
...Robert Rauschenberg 1925-

"The monopoly capitalists - even while employing purely empirical methods - weave around art a complicated web which converts it into a willing tool. The superstructure of society ordains the type of art in which the artist has to be educated. Rebels are subdued by its machinery and only rare talents may create their own work. The rest become shameless hacks or are crushed"... Ernesto Che Guevara

Myth: We have to save the earth.
Frankly, the earth doesn't need to be saved. Nature doesn't give a hoot if human beings are here or not. The planet has survived cataclysmic and catastrophic changes for millions upon millions of years. Over that time, it is widely believed, 99 percent of all species have come and gone while the planet has remained. Saving the environment is really about saving our environment - making it safe for ourselves, our children, and the world as we know it. If more people saw the issue as one of saving themselves, we would probably see increased motivation and commitment to actually do so.

and author (b. 1953) and William L. Rathje, archaeologist and author (b.

"I have never been able to carry out any work coolly. On the contrary it is done, so to speak, with my own blood. Anyone who looks at my works must be able to sense that" ...Kathe Kollwitz 1867-1945
"Because I am free, unconditioned, whole, not the part, not the relative, but the whole Truth that is eternal, I desire those, who seek to understand me, to be free, not to follow me, not to make out of me a cage which will become a religion, a sect. Rather should they be free from all fears - from the fear of religion, from the fear of salvation, from the fear of spirituality, from the fear of love, from the fear of death, from the fear of life itself. As an artist paints a picture because he takes delight in that painting, because it is his self-expression, his glory, his well-being, so I do this - and not because I want anything from anyone."...J. Krishnamurti
"I’m not an abstractionist…I’m interested only in expressing basic human emotions" ... Mark Rothko 1903-1970

"Anything under the sun is beautiful if you have the vision—it is the seeing of the thing that makes it so. The world is waiting for men and women with vision—it is not interested in mere pictures. What people subconsciously are interested in is the expression of beauty, something that helps them through the humdrum day, something that shocks them out of themselves and something that makes them believe in the beauty and the glory of human existence"...Charles Hawthorne
