Words and Art

“You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul.” — George Bernard Shaw

You’re supposed to be writing.

The longer I write and the more I read about art and their own mediums, the more freedom I gain with words as my art. Every book about art is another book giving me permission to be the artist I am. Exactly as I am. They are my mirror outside of time. And that’s exactly what you are, a mirror outside of time. A mirror to little you. A mirror to other writers, dreamers, thinkers, and artists that find little pieces of themselves in your words.

Who’s your favorite artist?

Jayne is a writer. On her free time she likes to be with her family hiking outdoors and traveling. New England is her home and place of birth. When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.

  1. Van Gogh is my favorite artist. I got to see his work at the museum in Amsterdam with my wife. I’ve read his biography and watched the movie starring Kirk Douglas about his lifelong struggle with depression, but his art continues to inspire us today.
