DOES ART MAKE A Difference

By providing a shift in perspective even for a moment, art invites beauty and wonder to enter with some permanence into our daily lives : whether it is music, theatre, dance, poetry or the visual arts.  Wonder inspires curiosity, and curiosity keeps the mind free from becoming pessimistic  about life's continual struggles.  Artist’s gift is two-fold: seeing extraordinary in the ordinary and communicating that sense of wonder by way of art. The wonder is in the essence. Drawing and painting seems to hold the position of being closest to pure thought within the realm of visual arts, Whether with color, form or line, it captures the essence particularly well. It brings us toward greater joy by helping us retreat from cynicism and pessimism and to embrace instead our life full of meaning and opportunity . Art offers worthwhile wonders daily for our consideration.
