As artists, we define right or wrong instinctively, we are society's outlaws. We are dangerous because as artists we accept nothing at face value, including our own worth, we question all! It is why dictators and despots banish artists & the intellectuals first because the truth that we seek is universal. Unlike those who are merely aristocrats, we are born with our talent, we make it our own even though we cannot take full credit, for it is truly a gift.

From early on, we are exposed to how others want us to live, the media constantly sells fantasies from Barbie Dolls to Ferrari, from Superstars to Lotto's, it is a relentless onslaught to our self worth and who we become. The gratuitous violence that Hollywood and the media sell in prime time is there for your entertainment, but sadly more to enrich others.

As artists we rise above these things including nationality, religion, gender & color yet, we are not perfect. Those who live with a dedicated artist know they can never truly be a wife, a partner or husband. They will always be the mistress or at best the muse in the act of creating art.
