Artist narrative: Ever thought you shoulda, just to say I did? Memories of I Woulda, tucked away and hid? So many life I shoulda’s derail no fault their own. Most of life I woulda’ssuggest we’re not alone. "Conquer the I shoulda’s! Cast dock lines", shouts Mark Twain. "Sail safe harbor woulda’s, don’t live your life in vain!" But shoulda, woulda choices from love, fear or anger embed as guiding voices, like a compass from above. I Shoulda, I woulda, BUT…sharpens character like a knife, carving purpose in the journey, lighting crossroads in the night.
