Recently I read a handwritten note by the late Roger Ackling, friend and artist. To paraphrase, he wrote that to love is to be in contact with our inner spirit and he believed art is a place where one’s spirit can reside, where one’s love can be found. It is a strong and unbreakable force. The circle is strong. Complete. Infinite. It seems to me to be a perfect place to express love. - Carol Robertson, June 2024
