What I think about when I think about art
All art is a struggle to find the truth. The truth is personal and frustratingly elusive but it’s out there for all of us to uncover. And when we find it (often in unknown and incomplete ways) it’s a magical feeling. This feeling might not last long, but it is remembered and lingers in ways that make us want it again.
The challenge for many artists (painters, writers, poets, musicians, etc.) is to express this vision and reveal it in a way that others can experience. This sharing can lead to greater understanding and greater dialogue about all that is interesting and magical and beautiful.
