I am so appreciative of Lars, fellow artist and creative soul. There are many natural connections I feel with Lars in the realm of visual creativity. Yet he is a thinking wo(man)'s artist - there is deep thinking and knowledge behind the canvas (er, tiles) and I think that's what I value the most and why I feel a great kinship with Lars.

I've wanted to be an artist my entire life, but never "just" an artist - a thinking artist. An artist for change and for humanity. I've never really known how to do that and Lars has been my great discovery, a true role model of how to put all the pieces together.

First day here, writing my o/net profile and introduction I said Lars was my hero already. I just knew it!

Thanks Lars for being the arts champion that you are and for continuing to be my hero!!
