Art isn't something you have to learn to appreciate.

You simply get it.

​

Think of a time when you first saw a favorite work of art. If you were asked why you liked it, you might not have been able to explain why. But you knew the art connected to something in you—some kind of memory, understanding, dream, love. Something in that artwork was meaningful for you.

Having seen the expressions of people who have sought out and appreciated my work, I believe that meaningfulness, that connectivity, is what makes art valuable and unforgettable. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
