"Significant Souls" honors the struggles and achievements of the People who are America's History. I am moved by those who found the strength to stand against injustices and worked to demand human rights for themselves, their children and a hopeful country. My paintings attempt to illuminate, nudge, inspire, agitate and move people to action while encouraging the viewer to question, think and express their own truth, in their own way. With talented partners I present history via the visual and performing arts to encourage greater interest in our personal stories, education and community development, applying creative problem solving to engage a world with many challenges ahead. SIGNIFICANT SOULS A life contains the world, step into another's shoes, incarnation on earth shed your skin, your worries, for seven billion versions of now loss for one, the world is forever changed significant souls surround, how precious these lives, how sweet their sounds as memories songs fill the air, rich breath from golden lungs into our ears, our bones, our hearts. - p. fiore For more information email [email protected]

“The Center”, formally The Mohawk Valley Resource Center for Refugees.
https://www.thecenterutica.org.
Our banners announce the creative work of refugee artists like photographer Chambang Mut from South Sudan ([email protected]). We have established a gallery to showcase their work and celebrate entrepreneurial spirit. I am excited to partner with The Center and share the richness of “Many Cultures, One Community”!

Quote
"What most of us must be involved in--whether we teach or write, make films, write films, direct films, play music, act, whatever we do--has to not only make people feel good and inspired and at one with other people around them, but also has to educate a new generation to do this very modest thing: change the world." ~ Howard Zinn
