In creating "The Glass Wheat"
I am able to give back to Canadian farmers,
the hope, encouragement, inspiration
and motivation I received growing up on a farm.

As a child, running through crisp, green wheatfields
gave me an incredible feeling of freedom.
I have never forgotten this feeling
and am inspired and influenced by it every day.

At this time in history, I salute the farmers of Canada.
The dedication and courage of these resilient people
continues to inspire me.

The Glass Wheat is a symbol of hope.
Many thanks!

BELIEVE AND YOU CANNOT FAIL!
