something they see within and physically manifest it with their own hands for others to see. Art involves using a part of the brain that focus’s on problem solving and learning how to see. In much of the world today, an artist is considered to be a person with the talent and skills to conceptualize and make creative works. Such persons are singled out and prized for their artistic and original ideas. Their art works can take many forms and fit into numerous categories, such as architecture, ceramics, digital art, drawings, mixed media, paintings, photographs, prints, sculpture, and textiles. Of greater importance, artists are the individuals who have the desire and ability to envision, design, and fabricate the images, objects, and structures we all encounter, use, occupy, and enjoy every day of our lives. I believe the frame is just as important as the art itself. Sometimes, I carry the art right onto the frame as a continuous image. I find it most interesting to create family heirlooms using items from earlier generations, like pennies, buttons, photos, and anything else I can find to create a lasting memory. As a co-founder and current president of The Art League of Cheatham County, it has been my great honor and pleasure to be able to bring the Arts into focus and public recognition of the incredible talent we have in Cheatham County. It is important to encourge young to-be artists and provide them an opportunity to create their stories!
