What does it mean to be an artist? An artist is one who lives a creative life. A creative life is when one creates something where there was nothing before.
What is the function of art? The function of art is to give oneself, or others, deeper insight and meaning into the world around them.
What is more important to you, the process or the result? The result is based on the process. The end result is what is witnessed and should communicate an idea effectively, hopefully the idea for which the artist was aiming.
Do you label yourself as an artist? After many years of labeling myself a “painter”, I finally feel I can label myself an artist. I now recognize that I do create something where there was nothing before. I realize now I have the ability to effectively communicate, through a visual means, an idea that can give deeper insight and meaning into the world around us.
