Art is LIfe.... Life is Art

“What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is related only to objects and not to individuals, or to life. That art is something which is specialized or which is done by experts who are artists. But couldn't everyone's life become a work of art? Why should the lamp or the house be an art object, but not our life?”

― Michel Foucault

“Life is art. Art is life. I never separate it.” – Ai Weiwei.

"The object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to create a reality of the same intensity." - Alberto Giacometti.

Artists create their life, they give it form. Everyone should create their own lives and think it is art. Unfortunately, not many do. Christine Alfery

Light Has Dawned Accepted into Exhibition

I am thrilled and honored to have my work, "Light Has Dawned," selected for the exhibition at the Lexis Gallery at Trinity Cathedral in Sacramento, CA, running from October 2 to November 3, 2024. 

This exhibition delves into the profound theme from Genesis 1: "And God said, 'Let there be light.'" In a world where darkness often prevails, my piece seeks to interpret this divine call to light, inviting viewers to reflect on the transformative power of illumination. 

It is a privilege to contribute to this inspiring showcase which echoes the eternal promise of light overcoming darkness.

Subject

What is the subject that gets me excited to create? 

It's the relationship I have and I know others have to the harmonies and discords of the natural world.

My Journey of Love

 

Featured image: Wind Breathes

This land and the healing it brings. 

To mingle with the earth and feel hope

To be still and hear the silence

To be playful with and dance of the wind

To see the diamonds on the grass

To see endless skies and endless waters

To be with the sun beams through the pines

These things and more

Fill my soul

And I shout I love you, I love you

I love you.

Rich Tapestry

As we journey through life many of us, including myself, find solace in the wonder and its power to tell the visual story that we and others can relate to. Art embraces life and makes it worth living because nature embraces us, inspires us in the very rich tapestry of the human experience.
