I’ve found another resource for you to explore. You may be getting tired of me telling you that you’re creative, have talent you don’t know about, and you need to do something to express yourself. Well. If you’re feeling nagged, I apologize for that – but I’m not going to stop. In an ideal world, […]
On this International Women’s Day 2023, I’d like to quote Frida Kahlo: “I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality.” Every artist, ultimately, must paint their own reality, whether in their art or in their life. Where’s your brush? A.R. Tist #onedimensionalartist
Like my brain is fizzing with ideas and more just keep streaming in … every artist’s dream (usually) is to have work shown in a gallery.

Reading about various ‘self-expressionists’ gluing themselves to paintings or otherwise defacing art treasures leads me to think of a little kid throwing tantrums. Yes, concern over climate change is very serious and if something isn’t done soon enough – disaster. But masterpieces belong to the world as part of our shared treasures. Destroying them in

One of my missions in life is to encourage all kinds of people to try some form of art. Art is good for your subconscious mind, it relaxes your conscious mind, and it just has a holistic benefit for you. The picture above is an example of what’s now being called “Neurographic Art.” Years ago,
