Our Way of Holding on to Our Humanity

Art is our way of holding on to that which makes us human. A guide to our inner sould. No matter the medium (I myself choose photography, the art of the written word, and music) art is the window into our mind. Each masterpiece is a glimpse of what the artist has inside, what he or she is thinking, dreaming, or wishing.

Art has brough color to my world. As I grow as an artist, I learn more and more about myself. It astounds me that something so intimately personal can be shared and bring about so many different emotions from those who view or listen to it. I think that art is one of the most important things in my life. Without it, I doubt if I would be able to hold on to my sanity. Every frustration, every emotion, every whim is expressed through my art.

I feel privelaged that people let me see their works of art. It is like getting to know the real person, rather than just the face that the rest of the world is seeing. It is so wonderful, and I think that if we continue to share in each others art, we can learn to grow and accept each other wholly.

What a wonderful topic! Just reflecting on it makes me feel so emotional : )
