“If the artist tells you it’s art – it’s art!
If you like it, it’s good art!”
Phil Chard
My inspirations and scope
In short, everything to some degree…
​
What is being alive?
​
What does that mean to me?
​
What is belief? …faith?
How is that applied by myself and other people?
​
What details do we miss in life?
…forgotten?
…overlooked?
…disregarded?
...judged
...or ugly and to be avoided?
In my opinion the secret to the universe and
everything is questions…
​
Who? What? Where? When? Why?
​
Questioning causes learning, growth, evolution and reflection and even a challenge
to perceptions and belief systems (B.S).
You may never know everything – but you might learn something.
Start today…
Question everything… question this!
