Is the world seeing your strongest talents now, or will we have to wait until you are dead to recognize your best work? I know we all want to be part of something that goes beyond our own lives, but it's also reasonable to want to be part of something great today. This is not about being modest; it's about living a double life; one in which your daily work has no connection to your passion. Where you have to hide your true talent in order to "make a living." Do you have a secret talent that you're not sharing?

Staging Art

A huge theatre buff and an artist, I always pay attention to all the choices the set designers make for each set. Watching a play with three distinct sets, I thoughts about working with clients to create the kind of ambiance that would work for them for at least the near term and came up with the term, "Staging Art." Interesting, now other artists and real estate agents have embraced the concept and you can, too. The more the merrier!

The Rembrandt Mystique
I spent the Fourth of July with Rembrandt on the occasion of his 400th birthday in 2006. What an exciting celebration I had with Rembrandt. As an artist/teacher, my students must study extensively the Old Masters. Why shouldn't I continue this essential study myself?

What Makes Certain Art Popular?
You know the art that has remained popular throughout the ages. Why? You know the artists who have remained famous through the ages. Imagine, for example, The Mona Lisa. Most people are familiar with the painting, yet not so many can tell you that an artist named Leonardo painted it. Most people can recognize a Picasso painting, but not so many can tell you the names of them.

The Global Significance of Art

As an artist, I believe that art lives. There is the spirit of the artist in each original piece of art. Of this I am sure. Does the spirit move also into each reproduction? This I am not so sure of. What I do know is that a piece of art can stop one cold in his or her tracks or a group of people cold in their tracks. You can see this yourself whenever you go to a major museum where they have the masters in their collections. And, of course, contemporary artists can also stop people in their tracks. Art is powerful. I love being an artist. I love that what Kant said about come comparing artists to God. Of course, it all comes from God. Where art is concerned, globally, it is a small world indeed.

Why Color Matters in Selecting Art

Color lives, just like the art. Color has meaning, just like the art. Color can rule a room or a space, just like art. That makes your color selections important.

There are ways to make it comfortable in a space, just like there are ways for a person to wear a favorite color that does not look so well with their skin color.

Why Change Is So Hard

A single human brain is estimated to have the switching capacity of the entire U.S. telephone network.It can hold up to 100 trillion bits of information, dwarfing the capacity of any computer ever developed yet. But the brain can act as a prison unless we learn how to control it. The brain can, and often does, lick us into automatic perceptions and behaviors that are inaccurate, ineffective, or downright destructive. How the human brain works is worth noting if we want to change.
