Art..what is it?

Art...what is it?

The dictionary says that art “pertains to a sense of the beautiful…is characterized by the love of beauty…is the study of mind and emotions in relation to a sense of beauty.”


Art is a very personal and individual experience and expression of what one thinks and feels is beautiful, meaningful, important and significant. All this is first experienced by the artist, then communicated through the work of art to the viewer.


The work of art is the artist. You, the artist, are there in every piece of art you create. A drawing or paintings is showing you to yourself.


Our art works mirrors back to us exactly our “state of awareness” at the moment we were creating it. Through our art we get to know ourself better and share who you are with others.
