I CREATE ART
I create art because I must.
I create art because art creates community.
I create art because ordinary becomes extraordinary.
I create art because I want to understand and be understood.
I create art because fleeting moments become timeless on the canvas.
I create art because a paintbrush is the tool that fits most comfortably in my hand.
I create art because I believe painting the gaze of an animal opens the windows to the soul.
I create art because I want to share the astonishing colors and patterns I see in the world.
I create art because a paintbrush gives voice when words alone are inadequate.
I create art because truths are revealed through lines, colors and textures.
I create art because the world can always use more purple.
I create art because it is my link to Divine Creativity.
I create art because I want to leave my mark.
I create art because I must.
