About Susan L Daniels

I am a firm believer that politics are personal, that faith is expressed through action, and that life is something that must be loved and lived authentically--or why bother with any of it?

    Zoe’s paintings inspired this salute to our world that is enriched by diversity and where increasingly we take on and imbibe other realities and thus become richer too! Now, tell me that I am wrong!

    Colours, I love colours, all colour, and its illusory steadfastness, perceived quite differently by bee or dog.

    Love the layered introspection — we are a myriad of colors within — especially when we shine! September Heights – Ink Skies
