art is amazing. it conveys feelings that can be hard to speak or understand. it can brighten your day. it can give clarity when nothing else does. im a huge fan of art. i love creating it {not that i have much time for that anymore}, i love looking at it whether at a museum or online. i love seeing how people incorporate art into their lives, however, there is a trend to consider mass produced wall hangings as art {i'm looking at you target}, which is extremely over priced and unoriginal. when i worked at target i was shocked at the amount of people that would buy the hotel-esque art or the oversized reproduction photograph of marilyn monroe. i would just want to scold them that they are wasting their money over a waste of space that they dont even love. especially when there are so many original pieces of art that they could buy instead. and when they buy original pieces of art they can support some amazing people. here is just a few samples of artwork that has been sitting on my wish list. and i ask you as the reader, when your tempted to go to target to add something something to your walls, check out
etsy or
20x200 or
society6. these websites are devoted with sharing art with the general public at affordable prices, some pieces are even more affordable then target! hopefully in the next few weeks i will be able to share my growing art collection with you!
