Connecting Through Art

One reason I love art is that it brings people together, and it often reveals peoples' values.  Through art we can learn about each other, and connect on a deeper level. I can remember many events where I had brainless conversation, either at a bar, or a party.  I come home feeling a little empty. I compare that to going to an art gallery or sharing my art here at my studio where I learn about others and what is important to them.  I prefer the connection that art can create.
