From the beginning of time the artists job has been to raise the bar.  We open eyes through opening hearts.  We melt discordance through expressions of harmony and beauty.  We make statements in words, color, form, texture, that leave the interpretation clear, yet always personal.

Experience leaves deep traces within us.

John O’Donahue

I ask nothing more of you than to participate in your fullest capacity.  Have fun yes. Enjoy yourself yes. Delight in the brush to canvas yes. But this time, these days, we add in a bit more sobriety. A bit more solemnity. A heap more truth.  This will happen only through complete faith to the voice of creativity that comes from your inside, not from without.  As we each listen and respond to this voice, this internal call, the response goes out and comes together. Like the tapestry we weave being here together, it too threads its way into all of humanity. It will be subtle, it will be slick, but it will be. And that’s what matters.  So first, re-find your truth. Spelunker what truth is to you. it is simple but it is nuanced.  It is beautiful and it is never more a part of everything we are all now, I know this with a surety through experience. Now it’s time to believe it.
