Favourite style of art: modern, abstract Operating System: OS X MP3 player of choice: ipod Personal Quote: Art shows us the condition of humanity, why it is this way, and how it can be transformed
Art is spiritual; it gives expression to ones own feelings and perceptions. Without outward expression the artistic soul is lost. The need to express drives you and wakes you up in the morning and steels your thoughts during the day. The artist is compelled to "Really See" the world for what it is. This spiritual awaking gives rise to ones ability to perceive of human frailty and weakness, it gives voice to all that is good and exposes what is bad.
The soul creates either consciously or subconsciously not by choice because artistic expression is spiritual. Erwin McMannas tells us that, “creativity is a natural result of spirituality
Conditions of my mind crowd in
Making it improbable to win
I STAND FIRM!
FIRM I STAND!
Climbing higher then my present life
Climbing rungs of expectations
Dreams
Hopes
Redeems
Not persuaded by my reality
But propelled by my potentiality
I STAND FIRM!
FIRM I STAND!
Moving beyond my faults
Swimming through my past
Bringing forth goodness
Greatness
Accepting forgiveness
Forgiveness frees
Life can now be lived!
I STAND FIRM!
FIRM I STANT!
