Paintings by Lorelle Bacon Photography by Mickey Buckwalter

Explore the World and Bring Other Cultures to Life!

I only wanted to trek in the Himalayan mountains. Smiles and laughter, quick and eager responses to my needs, these qualities are what compelled me to return to Asia again providing the courage to give up job and home. "Backpacking the world became my passion."

My slides and stories of Nepal evoked a powerful dream and prophetic vision for my friend Lorelle. She became the driving force in the cooperative venture of fine art, photographic exhibits, slide presentations and storytelling which became Bridging the Gap. Communing with other cultures while traveling in their countries revealed to me my fears and stereotypes and changed my value system and life.

"The eyes of these people are alive and dancing and they make eye contact easily.
Their whole face lights up when they smile. Our eyes met, we smiled and my heart melted."

So we invite you to journey into other cultures through our offerings. Increasingly world citizenship is an important issue. Customs and differences are but variations on a theme, a rich and varied expression of our shared humanity - we are all the same at heart. My life is richer as I strive to understand others and appreciate our differences.

Contact us to schedule slide presentations and storytelling, fine art and photographic exhibits. These presentations are available to schools, churches, libraries, civic organizations, and other groups who desire a clearer understanding of other cultures.

"When humans truly discover the power of love,
it will prove more important than the harnessing of fire."

Fine art prints with commentaries, cards, and photographs can be purchased at slide presentations, and by contacting Mickey. Contact Us Today!
