Art is an escape. Art is a refuge. Art is salvation. You first felt overwhelmed as a kid when your cat died; the best way you addressed it was to write or draw about it. As a teenager when you went through a breakup you made a song about it. And when you reached middle age and your dad passed away you felt the sacredness of the art of your dad's pictures. Art is an escape you want, need and should always seek. . . . #gallery #africanart #africanartist #art #nyartgallery #africanartcollector #cfacsyracuse #communityfolkartcenter #nyartgallery #syracuseuniversityartgalleries #syracuseuniversity #cuseart #mfa #suart #artistsoninstagram #artschool #art_spotlight #artstagram #artworks #cnyart #creativeminds #artists_insta #instaart #syracuseny #nyartist #artofinstagram https://ift.tt/2JRiIKz
