Artist’s Statement:
The world needs more positivity these days. We artists can help to make people happier. We are the un-licensed therapists of this world. We can create art that simply pleases the eye and make people smile, or create art that make viewers go back in time, to memories of less chaotic times in their lives; or perhaps we can create art that carries its viewers to a peaceful place they have always dreamed of. Each artist has the potential to fulfill a need in someone’s else mind.
