Why Art?

"Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life."

- -Pablo Picasso

Recently, a dear friend of mine gave me a magnet with this quote and I thought, YES! THIS IS WHY I FELL IN LOVE WITH ART. Everyone has something that transports them, makes them lose track of time. Art energizes me quicker than a quad shot latte, relaxes me more than a good red wine, and is better than therapy when I'm low. As Picasso said so eloquently, it makes everyday life something magical.

Before I knew who Picasso was, we shared the same rose-colored glasses and the same lifeblood: ART.
