How does art contribute to everyday life?

Art makes contributions to everyday life by inspiring people to think about the world differently. Art provides unique outlets for self-expression and conveying a point of view that stimulates cognitive thinking for the viewer. It presents a platform to evoke a dialogue on different topics including social patterns, politics, our environment, self-identity, and often reveals truths that have been otherwise concealed. Additionally, I’ve always thought that there was an interesting connection between fine art and the commercial world; art offers innovative ideas that influence designs and visuals in fashion, advertising, and product design. I find that through these self-discoveries about art and explanations of arts role in society I’ve been able to understand different forms of art and art has developed a more powerful meaning for me through these conclusions.

About Me

My photo
I work at a contemporary art gallery. I love working with artists and collectors and placing work in people's homes. I love painting, taking photographs, drawing, and mostly just observing art and style around me. I'm always interested in people's point of views on style and aesthetics and how art and style influence people's lives and the world in which we live. I think art and style are extremely powerful influences on identity, expression and positive living. Art pushes people to think differently and understand a perspective in new ways. Style is about personal identity and self expression while adding color, creativity and life to a person or environment. I think art and style are essential and I love to discover it around me minute to minute.
