Art is seeing and understanding.
Art is  a way to discover that which is on the tip of the tongue, floating, sensed, known, but not yet put into words.    

Art is a process of discovering, investigating, parsing, questioning, testing, measuring conceptions, opening possibilities, rejecting dead ends, reshaping, reformulating and reassessing. 

Art is a record of thoughts, meanings, feelings and responses to news, society and the environment, communicated through an alphabet of color and materials.

Art is a witness and conveyor of culture that can be seen and re-seen.
