Artist's Statement at Poetic Portal:^[1] "When I write or make art, I'm in a state of enchantment and this state is one of certainty. Where else is yourself to be found? Always in the deepest enchantment that you have experienced. For me, it is about enjoying the process of creation. Talk of method and style seems trivial: I became interested in meaning and want simply to be a witness and experience the world around me. I take photographs, create art and write, because it's an organic and vital thing for me to do". -Minerva Bloom
