Art and Talent
There is a preconceived notion that art rests fundamentally on talent. That talent is a gift randomly bestowed onto a select few but not onto most.
The idea, as far as I can tell, is that you either possess this talent or you don't.
Think about that for a second.
You either have talent or you don't.
There's another way of looking at this notion.

- About Me:
- Contemporary Art Photographer living in West Texas
- About My Art:
- I'm always exploring what it means to be an artist. Yes...that's vague, but as an exploration of vision and expression it's where my work is at this point in time.
I find solace in knowing that I grow as an artist with every piece I create and even more so with every piece of art that I observe.
