About the world, and about movement. The movement of things, people, colors, situations.. The study of movement, to me, is a study of sources. Art leads you to the source, the sources of all things.""Within Art is contained tremendous capacity for goodwill -- for the visible, physical manifestation of goodwill."--J.HeloiseHeloise (pronounced "Hello-ease") graduated Parsons The New School for Design with a fashion degree, and Northwestern University with a B.A. in Comparative Literature.
