"These pieces are about love of self, love of others, love of God. Any interaction of love between human being 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."    - Anne Mimi Sammis

 

"The creative energy that Mimi Sammis finds in the process of bronze casting is reflected in her exuberant yet graceful figurative sculptures. Whether they are dancing with abandon or reaching for the heavens, Sammis's human forms express a freedom of movement that becomes a metaphor for the artist's spiritual convictions."    -Nancy Whipple Grinnell, Curator    -Newport Art Museum, Newport, RI
