I am a painter and film maker who is obsessed with light, science and consciousness, pulling on the thread and following it wherever it takes me. I spend a lot of time with my feet in the dirt and my face toward the sun. Gosh, light is so damn mysterious. No wonder our ancestors paid such close attention to it.

West of Lincoln Project

Participating in BELONGING allowed me to share how I connect children with nature, land, and bring a sense of belonging to a place.

Rick Berry of Fox Walkers

The West of Lincoln Project is bringing people together because you are caring about their stories, it is truly the spirit of old Venice and community.

Everybody earns a second chance just like Eddie Hadvina in West of Lincoln Project.

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of something that has awakened so much in me already!! There are no accidents in this world and I count the I AM HERe project as an amazing gift!

Kimberlee Evans

Working on the West of Lincoln Project I learned that my strength comes from remembering who I was as a little girl growing up in Venice, Ca..  Having lived a less then perfect childhood I found that my innocence made me brave and strong.
