I now know...

I now know that being an artist is found in everything. An artist is not just a person who creates performance or visual art. An artist is a research scientist, an anesthesiologist, an astronomer, a botanist, a yard man, a teacher, etc. The list goes on and on. Because art lives in the alchemy of the mind and spirit. In the passion and interest of a person. Art is how one sees the world and an artist has many tools to transform it. Most often artistry requires crossing disciplines... and being interested and curious about everything to get the desired effect. Before now, my idea of an artist was severely limited. Thankfully, I have grown.
