This weekend I participated in my first Art Battle. I was impressed and humbled by the talent in the room, but it was such a warm, welcoming and encouraging environment. Our hosts, Jennifer and Micheal O'Brian of 4Cats Studio, are such energetic supporters of emerging artists and create this atmosphere.
I can't wait for the next one!
The piece I produced emerged from the current political climate shaking the world. One woman commented "it makes me feel things", which is the greatest compliment I could receive, and reminded me of the role art has to play in our daily lives. Whether the aim is to create a calming emotion, to titillate or to challenge, art that moves us, even a little, has done its job.
