Where Art Grows
I like your art. I might not have seen it, but there’s a real good chance that I like it. I’d rather see it than anything else. Too much art dies with the people who were too scared to share. It could be the one thing that finally inspires a great mind to change theContinue reading “Where Art Grows”

Walls
I’d love for everything to work out in my favor. The hard part is the challenges that come before the reward. The challenge isn’t always the tilling or busy work.

The Lives
Learning about the lives of other artists makes my soul light up. I don’t know what it is. I’m not even sure if it’s every artist but there’s a possibility it could be. It all started with Jackson Pollock in high school and I haven’t recovered since. So many times hearing about the life ofContinue reading “The Lives”
