Art is

Art is a quiet, unseen conversation. Between the artist and the art, the art and the viewer, the artist and the viewer.

Though I don’t know if I am quite okay with the term, ‘viewer’. Maybe a better title is, ‘participant.’ But sometimes there is a connection stronger than even that.

I don’t think you can own art - and art can’t own you. It’s a companionship, a friendship, a loyalty. It’s an understanding that you are there for each other in such a way that the life of each is elevated, recognized and valued. Maybe instead you pay to be the caretaker of a piece of art.

Currently, I am the caretaker of 7 pieces of art.
