Art Basel Miami Beach 2008 - Artist, Helene M. Weiss put the art back in Art Basel

"Gaze" acrylic on canvas 16x20

“Helene’s work captures the tangled human experience in all its despair and beauty, transporting the viewer on an unconscious trip thru life’s truth’s and circumstances. At each point in between, the work invites memories and personal choice, ultimately leading the viewer back to conscious acknowledgement of the work, life and who he or she is in that moment”

Yes, we can? The gay community elects the messenger but loses the message

True to his vision of uniting rather than dividing, President elect Obama sparks outrage in the LGBT community, selecting Rev. Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at his inauguration.

While the expressed outrage within the LGBT community is understandable, consider this… if we genuinely hope to understand one another beyond media sound bites and unite this nation, we must first acknowledge, listen and understand those whose beliefs would separate us.

By looking at what unites us rather than what divides us, Obama’s inclusive forum serves as the collective first step of a nation and with it the hope of inspiring meaningful dialog, based on one simple truth… we are all created equal and afforded the rights to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Now is the time to support our newly elected president and remind ourselves, we are all people first and agendas second.

Yes, we can move forward as a people and as a nation.

Is Gay The New Black?

On the heels of Barack Obama, hope and equality,
America says no you can’t, to its gay citizens.

We will begin the next great chapter in America's story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea - Yes. We. Can.

Yes we can to justice and equality.
Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.
Yes we can heal this nation.
Yes we can repair this world.
Yes we can.
