Ellington

Paul Fayard "...a means to an end." it's actually a dictionary definition, which I used when I taught art appreciation. I think it covers pretty much everything and is why supposedly MFA graduates are being hired for business. Diego Rivera said that all art is propaganda. I tend to agree.

Donna Ladd ... subversive.

Jo B. Williams ... often underrated and underappreciated.

Renee Shakespeare ... life.

Patrick Hudson ... subjective.

Demi Green ... essential to telling our stories ... and learning all of our stories.

Kat Hazlip ... life's imitation.

Daniel Moore ... my hustle. Art is my hustle.

Jamie Grissom ... drumming.

William Spell Jr. ... both an obsession and the only cure for it.

Dana Hood ... how, not what, is made.

Tanya Francis ... thought provoking.

Shondra Macklin ... in every beat of my heart shared via every brush stroke.

Carley Laney Art is necessary!

Jo Ann Crooks Hall ... that which takes one's breath away.
