I remember reading a quote years ago that talked about how art doesn't have to be pretty, it’s supposed to make you feel something.
How often do we forget that? In a society that values pretty above all else, how often do we cling to things that just feel a little.. empty? Curated.
We’re taught to want a curated life. A life worthy of social media likes and the approval of strangers. I know I’ve been just as guilty of that as anyone else, but goodness, I pray that’s not the legacy I leave for my children.
I want to create art that makes people feel. That captures the heartbeat of life, not just the beauty of it.
