Patrick Dunning, I'm the art teacher that came up to you at Eastmont Junior High (East Wenatchee, WA). You don't live that far away, but your spectrum of consciousness spans the entire universe! Alex Grey, the artist, threads the seamless fabric of the creative process as a spiritual path and Ken Wilber writes some of the most profound books about connecting the multifarious evolution of human consciousness, but you have managed to present "it" as an experiential, spectacular, and elaborate extravaganza. You have exposed the higher mission of art and encourage others to break out and create with HEART AND SPIRIT. Experience the journey of this miraculous life and universe and grab onto as many eternal moments as one can.....I'll hold this vision in my minds eye...thanks for the glimpse of the unknowable.

Patrick, This was the best program I've seen in 25 years of education. What a wonderful way to demonstrate the interdisciplinary nature of education and connection to life!! Over five hundred students and 65 adults are raving over the experience that has enriched their lives. Simply amazing!!! Sandshore School, NJ 4/27/06

Mr Dunning, You recently visited Beaver lake Middle School (Issaquah, WA) where I am a seventh grader. I would just like to say that your presentation and the work that you are doing is absolutely... wonderful. It is difficult for me to find words to explain how much I enjoyed that assembly. The entire concept is fantastic, interesting, and just plain awesome. I especially loved how you incorperated pieces of your family and culture in your artwork. The "secret messages" that are in The Signature Project that you would not see just by looking at it are creative and unique. Never before have I felt so small and yet so important. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. I look foward to seeing the finished piece! PS. I agree- Irish Soda Bread is delicious!

Brilliant! This piece will speak to the hearts of millions and will go down in history. What a wonderful blend of technology and art, with generous dollops of passion and love this piece will be. This is ART! It speaks volumes beyond some of the drivel that is posted in museums and priced beyond its worth. Thank you for sharing this with us, for creating this piece, and for being brilliant enough to blend all of the elements into such an amazing presentation. You are an artist, in so many fields! Performance, paint, and thought...

Mr. Dunning, your imagination, talent and energy are examples to all of us who have yet to open our minds to all the possibilities and directions the universe has to offer us. The EXPERIENCE of your passionate presentation will always remain with me...the courage to bear your emotions and brilliant mind to an auditorium of fellow humans in such a creative way is inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing your love of family, wild ideas, and talent with us. I wish you good health, lots of signatures and a life full of beautiful sunrises!

Patrick..Absolutely brilliant!!! You came to Bradley Elementary School and absolutely mesmerized and inspired everyone who came to see your performances. Your art touched the hearts of everyone from the 5-year-old kindergarteners to the most cynical adults. My students, 5th-6th graders, were so inspired they've planned to work on their own projects that blend technology, art, music. Your work may be the only performance art that some of our students may see in their lives...they were lucky enough to see something brilliantly personal and inspiring. My niece and nephew saw your performance at Aptos High School and they as well as their friends were blown away! The Signature Project transcends the generation gap. Thanks for sharing your art with the Pajaro Valley Unified School District!
