Anne Mimi Sammis

My art comes through me when I hold the wax in my hands. The joy, the dance of love between ourselves and others that I feel, comes out in my work.

Anne Mimi Sammis

These pieces are about love of self, love of others, love of God. Any interaction of love between human beings touches me, and I am moved to create.

Anne Mimi Sammis

I feel strongly that love is the healer of everything. When people come into contact with art, if love and joy are represented, the response and interaction with it can raise the consciousness of the world.
