Artistic talent, like painting and drawing, is more often regarded as something frivolous. But I think it is one of the most powerful talents because we create images and leave behind a visual record of where humanity is at that moment, and what we indicate is important. Art evokes emotion, entertains, can provoke in an instant, recall memories—causing us to cry or laugh. Art can be shared regardl
ess of socio-economic status, education, religion, or culture, whether it's painted on a wall, or on canvas, or with paint, or with a digital medium. Guided by outside influence and our personal lives, the truth sits right there, on top for all to see, in line and color and light.
