"Spring Red Flowers" Painting

I believe that visual art is a way of communicating ideas and feelings that cannot be expressed in any other way. Visual art allows the artist to “say” things that cannot be said, and communicate on a more visceral level with feelings that can be absorbed in an instance. Cultures all over the world and throughout history can be studied and better understood via the art and artifacts that they leave. The power that images contain can educate in a much more profound way than words alone. Visual communication is a way for a society or a group of people to leave their “mark” on the world stage
