As artists, we know that creativity is more than expression — it can be a path to healing. My own journey has shown me again and again that as an Artist for Peace, I have the power to transform sorrow into peace and fragmentation into wholeness.

Last month, Lisa and I were participating in the cities of St Louis, Ferguson, and Kansas City, MO. We were invited to join an International gathering of peacebuilders to help heal the great divide within our nation. Our program and team gathered in Ferguson, MO, marching for peace with the mayor, chief of police, the fire department, police officers, and many locals. We marched together and rallied around a Peace Pole dedicated to helping heal this city and the Black Lives Matter movement. Click the link to read more.
