Artist in Search of Art

That’s me: an artist in search of art.

I like Seth Godin’s definition of art: something created to have an impact, freely given from one human being to another as a gift.  He says it is what we are doing when we do our best work.  It’s not just about paints and chisels and wood-carving tools.  It is not about canvas and marble and a block of mahogany.  

Art is about action.

Art is about painting.  Art is about sculpting.  Art is about carving.  Art is about performing.  Art is about dancing.  Art is about strumming a guitar.  Art is about singing a song.  Art is about writing a novel.  Art is about coaching a client.  Art is about customer service.  Art is about every action taken by every person who chooses to infuse their essence into the activity in service of someone…or everyone…else.

Art is about giving.  

Art is about giving of yourself.  Freely.  Without expectation of anything in return.  

Art is love.  And love…love is art.

Let’s practice our art.  Let’s fill the world with art.

I am an artist in search of art.
