Where's Your Crayon?


"Everyone is born creative; everyone is given a box of crayons in kindergarten. Then when you hit puberty they take the crayons away and replace them with dry, uninspiring books on algebra, history, etc. Being suddenly hit years later with 'the creative bug' is just a wee voice telling you, 'I'd like my crayons back, please.'" Hugh McLeod

Inspirational Quote


"The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life." William Faulkner

Art As Birth


The process of creating art is similar to giving birth.

We first conceive the idea in our minds and then we give it life by putting pen to paper or fingers to the keyboard or brush to canvas. During the physical process of creation we labor over our work which doesn't feel much like work, it feels as though we are compelled by some force greater than ourselves. This higher voice guides our fingers or our actions and it will not allow us to rest until the completion.

And we give birth...

To the essence of who we are...

And we offer it to you...

As ART
