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.
