As our perception of the new year begins, we rediscover the powers of regrowth, change and evolution. No being is more powerful an example of new life than the woman." "My art grows out of an intense desire to experience it all, to taste and smell, to dance and fly and always to learn. I have traveled widely, studied art, archeology, belly dance, music, Mongolian shamanism, creative arts therapies, history and costume. All of these things go into my art, along with the desire to express the upheavals of mountains, the passion of movement from the belly, the flows and counter flows of music, the earth body and the human body. All this is grist for my mill." - Janet Morgan, Artist Brooklyn Downtown Lions Club & the Brooklyn Lyceum present...
