BORN: ART
Years ago I was at The Chicago Art Institute and there were two paintings there that changed me.
The first time I saw the Monet Lilies installation, I was sitting in the middle of all those lilies and it was awesome in an amazing, inspiring way. I was transfixed. It’s hard to explain.
The other painting I saw that day was the Seurat painting, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. I looked at the painting and it was as if I was sitting in the park with all people in the painting. I was transported into the painting.
For me, art is something that just captures my imagination, that captures me. It’s like, wow, humans create things of such beauty. Art makes me alive.
