Artist at Self

Growing up, I always had an interest in art.
I enjoy taking in the worlds created through artwork.
What really makes a piece enjoyable for me is one that pulls me in to wonder where the artist's mind and life were at the moment of creating it. What were their thoughts? What were their emotions? What influences were in their life at the time? What relationships or substances were involved in the piece?
I don't often worry myself with finding out what was behind the work. I find the wonder of it all much more fascinating at times than finding the actual truth of it all.
In my own personal artwork, I've learned to let go of such meticulous detail in which my older pieces have displayed and to just concentrate for a bit on line, color and emotion.
I am currently exploring keeping the artwork simple and more about its purpose I have set for it. I visualize my artwork up on a wall and someone looking at it and thinking "Yes, it's pleasant. But more importantly, this piece here directly helped make a difference in someone's life."
Art can make a difference. I think it should.
