Art: a lifelong journey

WHAT ART MEANS TO ME

By Joyce Satterwhite

Art brings great joy to my life both in admiration of works by others and expression by my own endeavors. It is a lifelong journey of trying to get where it is that I want to go and say what I want to say. Though creating a work of art is a constant challenge, the whole process is very exhilarating and something that I want to keep repeating. Through the eyes of a painter, I look at the world in a different way, seeing not only the overall beauty but the shapes, values and colors as I have been taught to see. I’ve tried through different learning processes to master the technical skills necessary to paint worthy artwork and along the way I have gained invaluable experience through friendships, travel, and knowledge.
