Our society conditions us to believe that anything less than perfection is flawed and a failure, enslaving us to a myth. But true beauty lies in the flaws, the manifestation of mistakes, struggle and decay. It is through these that true creativity is born. Evolution is achieved not through perfection but by embracing imperfection. By recognizing the presence of flaws the reality of the world is acknowledged. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist Bio: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCreating jewelry professionally since 1984, Lesley is the daughter of two professional artists.
