Peter J. Britos
Artist's statement: I feel particularly sensitive to the animating
energies that define us as people, through the places that we live, the
relationships that we cultivate and the intersecting events of our lives.
Each of us has a purpose, a kuleana, or responsibility that calls us to
action. My desire is to bring voice to the work, to nurture and support
those I work with, to reclaim their visions, voices and stories. Each of us
has stories to tell, treasures to impart for future generations. The arts
are the soul of us, as they are personal expressions and a visual
representation of aspects of the divine. We must strive to kokua one
another in all that we do.
