What is art? Does it need a lofty purpose? Is it something we acquire to impress someone? Is it a tangible souvenir from a flashy party with A-list attendees? What gives art its value? Experience, education, execution, expression? These are long argued questions. Only the person who cherishes it really understands its value. The value of a piece of art is solely determined by its significance to its owner. blah. blah. blah. I paint. Paint is my language, the canvas my conversation. Translations are rarely accurate, but feelings convey honest and true. I have something to settle with every canvas. I think deeply. I am human. I have questions to answer, hurts to overcome, happiness to share. I have things I must inscribe to remind myself of the higher level of humanity. Someone sees a connection and I pass it on. I paint.
