In search of the definition of the word artist, I soon discovered the stereotypical thought process was not wrong. The majority of available online and in hand dictionaries, are blatantly biased in their first few descriptive lines of the word. They describe one who paints, sculpts and draws. I take little solace in these words as I see great discrepancies in the outcome of my search. I do give the producers defining the word, accolades for including the descriptive “a unique group of individuals.”
The twenty-first century is more tolerant and less constricted when it comes to the word artist. The description is a tag line for bakers, jewellers, photographers, metal workers and writers. A community of people excelling in their field, showcasing their artistic ability in ways not thought possible. Blending, melding, interpreting what is seen and heard through the use of various mediums to profile intricate, imaginative results.
| Voice and Vision 2016 is a production of visual artists and wordsmiths. An interpretation of work between artistic partners. Culminated into a Limited Edition, professionally published book. It has been a pleasure to be one of the twenty-four artisans involved in this project. Each page of this book is an appreciation of the visual artists on display combined with a translation of thought by the writers participating. As of December 30, 2016, we have twelve of these Limited Edition books available for purchase. |  |
