Arfully Yours
Description
As an art history student (now out of school) you could say art has completely ruled my life since the moment I found it. There is something magical about the ways in which a simple color field painting can take you into unknown journeys through your imagination. I like writing about art, scholarly and otherwise, because it helps channel my constant thoughts about art and the world around us as art. Art is simply a rush of energy for me. Art is simply life itself.
