“As an artist who has contributed to the Art in Embassies program for over 40 years, I felt honored to be asked to participate in the artist exchange and I felt a responsibility to represent my country as an artist citizen. Art is universal with a language that can be understood and appreciated no matter the geographical boundaries. Demonstrating that the United States values its artists and cultural heritage speaks volumes to host countries. Providing opportunities for a mutual exchange of ideas deepens and broadens understanding and good will.”
