ART QUOTES
Art is an important source of nourishment for the human spirit. Like so many other intangible forces and feelings that are key to our sense of being human, art provides inspiration and meaning in our lives, in ways that differ from many of the more tangible aspects of daily life.

Here are some quotes that reflect my feelings on the value and meaning of art and creativity. If you have a favorite that you'd like to add to this page, please share it with me!
