Art, as I have always defined it is, "The tangible evidence of one's imagination". Not unlike a Sci-fi movie (or Syfy channel) it is like having the ability to glimpse into the the inner most thoughts and emotions of a person. Clearly, this is unlike anything that a surgeon could possibly accomplish, no matter how skillful the blade. These are thoughts, emotions, desires, and the exploration into the unknown that only the individual artist can elicit. As we are like snowflakes, different from each other, no two artists' imaginations are exactly alike, but each artist, if they are true to themselves puts their soul, out into the world for all to see.
Artwork should allow one to "fall into one's own thoughts", perhaps triggered by but not limited to a photograph or drawing. Performing arts can also create a path to a journey that only the dancer,choreographer, composer, vocalist, or musician can enhance. Art is a place to find a conversation starter, perhaps at times controversial, and for practical purposes - it is where one comes to know the artists' elation that their artwork has been accepted into a gallery or catalog or some place for all to see.
Of course, as an artist it is not the request that determines the art, but the inspiration from all that surrounds the artist and that is compelled to be created.
I look forward to your comments, your requests, and the knowledge that you have "stopped by" this oasis of art.
