All the artists have new and improved statements and essays.  These written pages provide insight into the artists, their intentions and establish a vocabulary to discuss their work.  I hope you find them interesting.  Let me know if you have any questions.
~ Chaucer

“When you have art on the walls it tells you, reminds you, of your life, values, spiritual importance, it models the self.  Art isn’t décor.  It’s a visual reminder of an indicator of what’s important to you.  It’s important because it’s dynamic and it’s important to rotate art because like life itself, it changes.”

~ Mary Ann Kelly

Art is the conscious application of insight.  When you choose to hang art on your walls you are intentionally investing in the meaning of your life.
