The Starving\u003cbr\u003eArtists Fund is a paradigm of how I want the art world to work. Freedom Fruit Gardens came about\u003cbr\u003efrom the difficulties I have faced in the effort to feed my own family on a tight budget.\u003cbr\u003eEach of my projects is stimulated by and initiated from my personal life and philosophy. The physical\u003cbr\u003emanifestation of these ideas however takes on a life of their own, becoming broader and nationally\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eor internationally poignant.
