Q & A With Artist DOminic BrOwn

1. Where did you grow up and, how, if at all, has your environment influenced your work? I grew up in a city called Rijswijk, which is a small city in between The Hague and Delft - The Netherlands. It's a sweet town with a lot of nature space to play outside & so I did... I liked to play with all kinds of different kids, from Moroccan to Iraqi, French to Asian. This and the fact that my parents showed me a lot of places around the world made me discover the color of skin doesn't matter in any case, it's always about the person - this influences me still daily and keeps me interested in different cultures. 2. What did you really, really want to be as a child? I always wanted to become an archeologist or paleontologist, that was until I saw Jurassic Park... 3. Who are your mentors? Your influences?

Is Writing, Painting & Crafting Actually Good For Your Health?

The act of writing—be it novels, poems, or songs—serves as a powerful medium for self-expression and communication, transcending the mere assembling of words into something profound and significant. Writing allows individuals to explore and articulate their innermost thoughts, emotions, and experiences, creating through their imagination a world that validates their experiences. This offers a therapeutic outlet for the writer but also fosters a deep connection with readers or listeners, who may find solace, inspiration, comfort or reflection in the shared human experience.

Q & A With Artist Carla Byrd

Who or what have been your influences? Growing up, my dad was an artist, so his paintings, mainly abstract, could almost always be found on our walls.. even when looking at old photographs, there they are again in the background. This was probably my earliest art influence. Five words to describe you would be? People that know me say I'm strong. I could probably be considered a bit radical. I'm a dreamer, I dream at night and during the day. If I don't have my dreams I don't have anything. I'm very sensitive, so its not much that I don't take in from my surroundings and from other people in general. I consider myself to be more of an introvert than an extrovert. Although, I enjoy being around others, I truly value my time alone with just my thoughts. Last book read? I'm a huge book person, so I keep a backlog of books to read, I just read Dumbing Us Down, by John Taylor Gatto Last movie seen? I've never been a big movie person, so when I se...
