People ask, "What is Art?", and they wonder why there are so many divergent opinions. Perhaps a better question is "What is an Artist?" Is it inspiration? Is it vision? Is it technique? Is it non-conformity? Or is it a way to communicate our inner most feelings without a word?

We are, if we choose to acknowledge it, all artists in our own private lives and hopefully we each find the right vehicle for that expression.
