BPP: If you could say something important you've learned all these
years of your life, to the other people and they were able to listen to you,
what would you like to tell them?
Cindy Seip:Life is really is too short for all the wonderful
things there are to experience in this amazing world. Sometimes our fast paced life is like driving
in a car on a highway. Exit that highway and take the back roads to see, smell
and taste new things because it's not how fast you get there, but the fun you
had on the journey.

BPP: What is your real dream, the one that keeps you awake at nights and if one day it will come true, you will feel your heart calm and peaceful?
Cindy Seip: My dream is that my photography jettisons to a level
that I can then use it to help animals and of course the oceans creatures.

BPP: How is life for the people in your country today?
Cindy Seip: No doubt, our economy is a dark cloud circling over
our country, but aside from that I think it is better than people admit to.
BPP: What do you wish to happen to them and to the people of this planet
at large?
Cindy Seip:My wish is to have the people of the world to realize the horrible mistreatment to animals of the factory farms.

The Dalai Lama said it best - “Life is as dear to
the mute creature as it is to a man. Just as one wants happiness and fears
pain, just as one wants to live and not to die, so do other creatures.” The
Dalai Lama, 1967.

BPP: If you had the chance to be a child again, will you choose to do
the same life you do?
Cindy Seip: Yes! I often wonder what it would be like not to be
creative and know that would not be for me. I also think I would miss out on a
lot of things in life. Being creative is like having a huge satellite dish that
captures all of life's little morsels.

BPP:Which exactly was the moment you understood what you want to
do in your life?
Cindy Seip: In second grade I was fortunate to realize that I
loved!!!! {{ <3'ed }} aRt :) and it would be my lifes path.
I realized
this when my second grade teacher in Miami, got out the clay and assigned us to
mold with it. My creation was a seal and I remember the process going from soft
moldable clay to the finished piece becoming solid and strong. A testament to
art I would say.
I still have my ceramic seal with the blue eye and
often look at it because it reminds me where my creative beginnings were
realized. [Please see attached - "Early Ceramics.jpg"

house that sits on a grassy lawn with flowers.
