The Art of the Artist

Who is your favorite artist? A musician, an actor, a painter, or…a plumber? Yes, a plumber! Art isn’t just in what we see or hear – it’s in the need to create, in every heartbeat behind each brushstroke, melody, or spark of innovation.

The truth is, everything created is art, and that includes you.
