A lot happens in the making of art and I often toss around the idea – what is art? Is it the painting/ drawing/ sculpture/ installation, multi media etc. produced by the creative process or is the ‘Art’ already happening in the creative process?
This blog site will not cover all of my creative process but will offer a glimpse behind the final works produced.
