Nishasunanda Art

And the answer was surprisingly yes...even if I had to draw in the dirt. (As I assume there would be no paint without people to make the paint :) I realized through pondering the question that ever since I was little, I had to express outwardly through my hands in some way the things I absorbed visually from the world, that without doing so I would become like a river dammed up and stagnant. It needs to pour it out in appreciation of what is seen and experienced...I think it is the same for many artists, it grabs hold of you when you are young and becomes a part of you like breathing. I can't count the number of times I have stood before a painting and been truly affected by it, felt my soul and awareness expanding and felt that I understood life and painting a little more clearly...Who knows what an amazing effect it can have on an individual? I am grateful to every artist who has inspired me through giving so much of themselves in their art and sharing how they see the world...It's helped me to see more clearly.
