Cultured Artists™ Follow us on Facebook!
I decided to create this blog because I wanted the artist's voice to be heard, loud and clear. Not just an interpretation of the artist's voice and work, but their personal stories.
Often times we don't hear stories from the artists perspective, especially artists of the diaspora.
I am interested in hearing and sharing the real lives of these creatives. I want to attempt to understand the reason that they feel the need to create and share their work with the world. As an artist myself, I know how challenging that question can be to answer, but I think that it's an important one that can allow insight into a private world.
Many people don't understand the mind of an artist, and what drives them to create, but I know that every artist is driven for different reasons. I hope to interview creatives (some of whom are colleagues and friends), to delve more deeply into their own feelings about their work, the business, the competition, inspiration, failures, struggles and triumphs. I encourage you to follow along, and read their stories. There is no judgment here, just truths.
These are the voices of the keepers of our history. Take note.
