This step-by-step guide walks you through targeted exercises that help you generate a compelling statement.  Key Insights from Martine: "Despite having AI at our disposal, writing an artist statement isn't a breeze. You still need to create a statement that helps collectors and curators understand the context of your work, creates a bridge between your artistic intentions and the viewer's experience, and distinguishes you in a competitive field." "Your statement should sound like you, not an academic journal, not a marketing brochure, not what you think a 'serious artist' should sound like." "The best artist statements aren't written in a single sitting. Give yourself permission to explore, experiment, and refine, just as you would with any creative project."

ARTIST STATEMENT:Bre DownerThe Process:I really wanted to paint the skies that I've worshiped under so many times, and a specific moment came to me immediately. I remember watching the sun descend and was in awe of the magnitude of the cumulus clouds. Their colors all mixed almost like a liquid, the golds and oranges....they completely overwhelmed me with a deep sense of awe. As the sun set, the warmth of the colors reminded me of God's nearness, and the deep purples and blues reminded me of his power. This awe is something I wanted to capture. The use of gold leaf was two fold. I wanted the painting to play with illumination and light. Gold is naturally reflective and brightens the tones around it. Thus allowing for a contrast that I find visually rewarding. It also allows for personal reflection on the words of the Psalmists regarding the commandments of the Lord. I feel painting with oil over gold leaf allows God's creation to showcase its beauty and gives us a moment to pause and reflect upon the work of the Lord's hands. How worthy is he to be praised? The Vision In this Psalm of David we learn of different ways the Lord declares himself to his creation and the invitations and warnings he gives us to receive his grace. The first invitation is to look up to the heavens (vs 1-6). They are constantly pouring forth speech and proclaiming his splendor and also his nearness! Accept the invitation to see the salvation of our God. The second invitation is to look down into God's word (vs. 7-11) and be humbled all the same. The declaration of God's glory is across every page. It illuminates hearts the way the sun illuminates the sky, enlightening the eye and soul. As Martin Luther so beautifully stated when talking about Psalm 19, “My conscience has become captive to the word.” It is not enough to just stand in awe of the heavens, we must then accept the invitation the Psalmist gives, and take the warning and gift graciously given to submit to the creator of heaven and earth. How kind is God to allow his creation to proclaim his grace and also his word to shout with even greater clarity the grace we have through Christ? Both sing the same song. Both sing his praises. Both declare the steadfast love of the bridegroom in greater revelation. Just like the sun rises and sets with endurance, so Christ, our bridegroom, mercifully reveals his warmth and love to seeking souls. I pray we receive this invitation and warning. Look inward (vs. 12-14), repent, allow the Lord to cleanse you of sins you see and also sins you are unaware of, then receive the blood of Jesus over your life, which covers a multitude of sins. ARTIST STATEMENT:Tami BolteThe Heavens are evidence of God's existence and Power, His Love and care. God reveals Himself through nature to man, which He also omnipotently created. How can one look up at the stars, the moon and the galaxies and not be humbled at the sheer majesty of our Creator? His vast knowledge and creativity leave you speechless yet so thankful for showing us a glimpse of ALL Yahweh is, The splendor of His glory. It's hard to fathom that our Lord created the Heavens above, and gives each of us and our senses, such delight, without saying a word! Yet, NO ONE is exempt from enjoying and drawing closer to knowing and believing in God personally! It is this high view of God, the moon, stars, the skies, that was significant in my own journey to knowing Him personally. God used glow of a full moon to draw my heart to Him as a 17-year-old at a summer church camp. I wasn't a Christian but was drawn to God's people, something I had not desired before. Three weeks earlier, I had been stood up for my junior prom and was told "I was not WORTH talking” by my boyfriend. All I heard was... YOU ARE NOT WORTH MUCH. Now, three weeks later, I came to camp with my best friend, and let her wear my new Senior class ring I had just saved and bought. She lost it during camp. But instead of being angry, I felt peace I couldn't explain! Campfire had ended on the last night of camp, and I heard of God's love for ME! John 3:16 was shared and my heart understood that Jesus died for ME, my sins. As I walked down the hill, in the bright blue moonlight, I noticed a sparkle SO bright in the tall grass. I reached down to see it and it was my Senior ring!!In my heart I heard, "My Love for you is SO MUCH MORE THAN A RING! Follow Me!” God valued my life! He had drawn me to this moment and valued me! By looking up into that sky, He drew my heart into realizing, the Creator of the Universe had been waiting for me to see a high view of Him and the piece of me I had been searching for that only HE could fill! My life has never been the same. Without saying a word, HE said SO much about His love, grace and mercy to me that I don't deserve. His word truly IS more precious than gold! I chose to paint the vast starry sky with an eclipse of the moon. His light shining through the darkness—-just as it had changed my dark heart with HIS light and mercy. Huntsville has experienced the display of his glory lately in so many amazing ways: The Northern lights, solar and lunar eclipses and the brilliant views of the stars, I wanted them all to be displayed. My painting incorporates acrylics and gold leaf and it you look closely... you can see His Name written in the stars. I am humbled and eternally grateful for this opportunity. Look up! Be still! and listen for His whisper! O LORD, how majestic is Your Name in all the earth!

Carol MacConnell is not afraid of a large expanse of blank canvas. Rather, she relishes the opportunity to create beautiful works that live beyond the canvas."As an artist, my journey has been one of evolution and exploration, marked by a transformation from realism to impressionism, and ultimately, to abstraction. The progression of my artistic style over 25 years has been the building block for this latest phase of my art, abstraction," noted Carol in her Artist Statement. Despite the awards and accolades, Carol remains true to herself - an artist who never stops exploring!FOR MORE INFORMATION VISITwebsite:www.carolmacconnell.comIG:@carolpaints_

Ryan and Becca are excited to have Tim Kowalczyk from Tims Ceramics on to cover a range of topics and answer a couple listener questions. We chat about selling through galleries, testing new processes, being "academic" with how you talk about your work, taking yourself a little less seriously, artist statements, & applying to shows. We hope you enjoy the discussion and big thanks to Tim for spending so much time with us.-----Find more about Tim's business below-----Instagram - @timsceramicsShop - https://tims-ceramics.myshopify.com/collections/allWebsite - https://timsceramics.com/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5UD4uaoiGKwXI89NyBeGigListener QuestionsOn this episode:- What do you think are the advantages of doing a curated show? Disadvantages? I've been invited to participate in a group show with some other Ceramic artists that I really admire. The show is a little over a month long at a gallery in Portland. After saying yes, I find out that they want 10 pieces, but really they only want 2 pieces to be shown at the gallery, the rest would be only virtual. Of course the gallery wants 50% of all of the 10 pieces. It would be still my responsibility to drop ship the pieces to the customer. I think the shipping fee will be added to the order so I don't have to cough that up too. I already sell pretty much 100% of my work virtual on my own website. Although, I don't always sell out on a shop update. Is doing this show or this type of show really going to give me that much more exposure to give up 50%? I'm in such a quandary! Oh and they want to see pictures of all 10 pieces 3 months before the show. @juliannroush - Have you talked about writing artist statements for submitting work to galleries? I had to do one recently and wasn't sure how to approach it. (Also I am thinking Becca probably hates artist statements.

In this episode, Laura and Ros cover the topic of artist documents. We chat about artist CVs, artist statements and artist bios and discuss WHY we need them; the difference between them and what to include in each of them. Laura has even made you a workbook on this topic, so scroll on down and download that bad boy ASAP!   Whilst not all artists will feel confident in their writing ability, these documents play a key role when applying for an art prize or gallery show or creating a press release, a website or even just a marketing flyer. Written information about yourself and your practice is key to growing your profile.   Artist Bio - A short description about yourself and who you are as an artist. It includes what inspires you and a little bit about your practice. Keep this concise. It is a brief profile of you. Do not go into detail on your education, prizes etc. Keep it short and snappy.   Artist CV - This is like a resume, specific to your arts career. It includes exhibitions, publications, educational background. It is a comprehensive document that you use when applying for grants and funding, galleries, large exhibitions etc.   Artist Statement - This document compliments pieces of your art, usually in the context of an exhibition or gallery application. In this statement, you can go into more depth about your inspiration and also your location if relevant. It is a sales tool and helps to give context to your artwork and invites a deeper connection with your work.

M. Scott Ault is a Calgary based artist, author and sporadic adventurer. He grew up in east- central Ontario and knew there was more "out there" than just what had been taught in books and through movies.. adventure and that it was sitting there.. waiting for him. All he had to do was reach out and grab it. Thus, one day he decided to give away nearly all his personal property and, armed with just a backpack and a cardboard sign, he was en route to... nothing short of Life, Immeasurable. In the years since he has meandered by various alternative methods including cycle touring around N. America and worked on his chosen art forms that include 3D soapstone sculpting, photography, and literature. He has, also, had to take on various forms of employment and has always been in "survival" mode. If one thing was a "take away" from him.. it would be to slow down and smell the roses. Instead of rushing head long in to a life that is more work than enjoyment he has always sought peace and tranquility. It is his hope that spending 24 months on the oceans of this planet will teach him more about this and reinforce his connection to her and he'd like to share that sense with as many people worldwide as possible. "Artist Statement" - M.

Artist Jay Handy, originally from Bay City, Michigan, is presenting a one-person exhibit at Studio 23 in Bay City starting March 25, 2022. The exhibit titled: This Must Be The Place, will include one-of-a-kind pulled prints depicting imagery found in vintage photographs of Bay City. Jay Handy imagined a community project that actually crowd-sourced the residents of this riverfront city in Michigan, to submit their family photos to be used as inspiration and collage elements in his artwork. Val and Armin are so happy that they had a chance to get to know Jay and look forward to attending his reception and workshop. Jay Handy is a printmaker specializing in etching and chine collé to create the signature dreamlike quality that permeates his work. From the Harvard Business School to Lesley University College of Art and Design, the winding road he traveled to arrive at his current position as a passionate and prolific artist imbues his art with the characteristic sense of tension and nostalgia his work is known for. Jay resides in Madison, Wisconsin, where he continues to weave memories into preserved moments in time. Nostalgia is a primary presence in Jay's work, which contrasts beautifully with underlying elements of artistic tension. Like most artists, Jay finds himself reaching back into his history for inspiration. His work seamlessly conjures up memorable moments in life that trigger a feeling and capture that special moment for the viewer. Artist Statement from Jay Handy: My art is an exploration of memory, both in its function and its feeling. When we think back on a memory, it's never quite the same as the initial experience that it was born of—a unique and complicated aura now surrounds it. Depending on the moment in time, it may be tinged with a hint of tenderness or a sense of forlornness. I find myself caught on a memory, turning it over and over in my mind to uncover every unique thread of nostalgia, of joy, of tension. The memory becomes a distinct moment in time, with so clear a life and story all its own that I'm compelled to transform it from a vision to a tangible image. My use of etching and chine collé recreate the memory and transmute the unique qualities that frame it into a language that can speak to viewers and stir within them that shared experience of nostalgia and memory. Regardless of who we are, where we're from, or what time period we've lived through, we each have our own experience of memory and the often bittersweet qualities that those memories are preserved in. My art is the translation of memory from floating fragments to captured moments. Thank you to Jay Handy for this wonderful conversation for Art Ladders. Exhibition at Studio 23 in Bay City starts March 25, 2022. Studio 23 is at 901 N. Water Street, Bay City, MI with telephone number: 989-894-2323. There will be a gallery walk and talk that day starting at 4:15pm and a reception starting at 5pm. Link to Jay Handy's "This Must Be The Place" exhibit reception at Studio 23 in Bay City.

Whitney, Artist Statement and Bio Thematically I am a narrative artist. Images are appropriated from either the Powwow interlaced with Hollywood or from the indigenous people of Turtle Island and filtered through my point of view to tell the tale of the coming of the Europeans, small pox, and the near annihilation of the people of this region. These historic and grand cultures were all but decimated in a few short years and those left standing were cheated of their traditions, religion,and freedoms. But, the ancient voices were not silenced and the drumbeats are strong again. The celebration of the Powwow is one public declaration of the strength and tenacity of the indigenous cultures of this continent. Hollywood finds a place in the images but as an interloper and with tongue-in-cheek humor. Both the Powwow and They Came mezzotints are born from research, developed with a lot of wishful thinking, and then filtered through a contemporary point of view. I am intrigued by societies rich in imbedded belief systems and texture of ritual. I am fascinated by the way groups, historically and contemporarily, structure the day upon ceremonies, beliefs, and rituals. I appropriate interesting images or concepts from these various cultural fabrics, add a bit of contemporary color, and weave it all into my idea of story telling. Although seemingly disparate, work created from childhood memories and from adult research spring from similar place. In both the images and my remembrances are appropriated and darkened with contemporary political meaning. The narrative is realized in the mezzotint processes and printed on Hahnemuhle copperplate paper. Whitney is professor emeritus who lives in her studio. Her mezzotints have traveled throughout North America and Europe; and to Australia, New Zealand, Serbia, Nicaragua, and Russia. Her work was given one of four international awards at the International Mezzotint Festival in Ekaterinburg, Russia in 2019. Exhibitions in 2021 include: Indigenous: The Contemporary, Watersmeet, MI (award); Ink Only III – PaperWorkers, Birmingham, AL (award); National Juried Exhibition.

If you want to take charge of your life, you are going to have to refine your resume. The job title you're going to insert at the top of the document is CEO. You are the Chief Executive Officer of the company/business called “your life.” You're not only responsible for hiring all the staff that will make the company run, but you're in charge of finances, marketing and operations. This sounds like a LOT to someone who's never stepped foot inside a corporate setting. But, even for those of you who have, it is a lot of work. It's the only way to change around your life is to reframe yourself as the boss. The freedom and positive outcome of all the work in store for you is this: You can run your business however you want. If you want to only work three days a week, fine. If you want to work only 4 hours a week, there's a book for that. But, the reframing we've been scaffolding up to in the first two sections of this book are going to come to a head. And it starts, like any fairy tale does, with a little magic. The Mission Statement of every business is written earnestly in the early days of developing a business plan and perhaps posted on a website or a physical plaque in the office. If a visual artist writes their Artist Statement it is usually as a cover letter or addendum to a resume. It shows the breadth of the ideas behind the work and gives a brief bio of their life's path. In some cases it may divulge the process by which their artwork is made, but only if that is a central focus of the conceptual thrust of their work. This allows the viewer to interpret your work knowing all the facts and details behind the work that then informs the meaning you hope the viewer receives. There is something special deep inside you that you were born with. Your kindergartner self embraced it and your parents applauded you for it. You did it without much effort and it brought you joy. You spent zero time doubting yourself when you were in your creative prime (yes, you were 5 so it's been a long time). This magic? Is where we start. You could create a get rich scheme for creating a business with your art, but over time you will burn out or grow less excited about it. I thought running a business would give me “free time” to draw and paint but really, I just gave myself a job and became a slave to my own brand. Chances are you're not doing the most magical thing you are capable of. Chances are, you know the one thing in this lifetime you are not maximizing your fullest super power. So let's cut to the chase here and make some lists. This episode has a little bit of homework at the end. Have fun! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/artists-who-thrive/support

To se ptala paní Plesnivá, ta sociální pracovnice. A on si vyndal početnici z druhý třídy. Ale byl to omyl. A pak si vyndal početnici z první třídy. A já jsem říkala, že jsem nic neprovedla.

Synopsis: In a bit of a break with tradition, this week Angela and I talked about how to create a strong submission. If you are paying to submit, give yourself the best chance possible to get accepted. Some criteria: - Be prepared and read the guidelines -before you start, know what the show is about and what the submission criteria is. Judges are looking for consistency across the work, excellence in execution, and originality - Images- this makes or breaks your submission. Makes sure your image quality is good with no peripheral junk to clutter up your image. If you need to, hire a professional to document your work. Make sure your work is well lit and that you submit your strongest pieces - your weakest piece will cast doubt on your submission - Consistency-have a consistent body of work. if you are unsure, reach out for feedback -Artist Statement - in 1st person. This communicates what informs your work - try and be more descriptive than "I love nature"....everyone does and it does not set you apart. Use a character counter to maximize what you can say. Never copy and paste your current bio without ensuring it is not cut off. Many other tips and tricks about booth set up photos and submissions....

A máma o mě moc zájem neměla. Spala v posteli. Byla jsem venku. A chtělo se mi jít na velkou stranu na záchod. Zvonila jsem na mámu. Ale ona mi nešla otevřít. A pak jsem šla znova ven. A naštěstí jela kolem mladá paní Kočmídová Jana s kočárkem s malou Janou a paní Vilderovou s Tomáškem. Jely na procházku. A já jsem se jich ptala jestli můžu jít s nimi na tu procházku a oni řekly, že jó. A tak jsem jela s nima. Měla jsem být jenom u baráku a čekat na toho tátu, ale já jsem neposlechla co mi říkal... Dášo!!! Tatínek tě shání. A pak jsem šla domů.

"Lies We Tell Ourselves": finding Truth beyond insecurity. This series of 6 oil paintings and poems document my conscious awakening, which began in 2019. At the time, I defined "lies" as: "intrusive 'harshidities' our subconscious tells us about our Selves with no real basis; harsh realizations that (if examined deeper) would lead to growth do not count. Falsehoods that hold no bearing." To condition the mind. To shut down insecurity. I asked, "If we became comfortable with this, maybe we would not lie to ourselves so much?" This year of becoming aware of Awareness led to true Metamorphosis for me as an individual. I knew these "Lies We Tell" were universal, and I also knew I needed to look within to begin to understand. So, I documented a list of every single lie I observed the voice in my head telling. - "I can't" - "I have to" - "I'm over it" - “I'm too much” - "I'm not enough" - "I'm having fun" - "I'll just do it once" - "I don't care what they think of me" (and so on) Deeper examination prompted the realization that lies, or as I began to call them, "happiness blockers," stem from the following: - Denials & Defense - Falsehoods Other People Sold Us - Lack of Self Confidence, which can lead to... - Self Deprecation - Lost Sense of Purpose Consciousness holds more power than the subconscious mind. Metamorphosis is the journey to freedom. The titles of each painting and poem are: 1. “Carina” or "Archetypal Figure" 2. “Charmeleona” 3. “By Then” 4. "Smoke Fear Away" or “Not Good Enough” 5. “Dreams” 6. “Mucho Mistrust” --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/carinakrehl/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/carinakrehl/support

Kathryn is a multidisciplinary artist who works at the intersection of sculpture, installation, drawing and photography. She expands works beyond their physicality using shadow, reflection, light, dimension, gesture, line, and space. Whether through her sculptures, outdoor installations, photography or ink drawings, revealing the underbelly, not veiling it, is her specialty, From her Artist Statement, she writes, "As a plastic surgeon's daughter, suturing and slicing come naturally after frequently observing surgeries. Sculptural materials are often twisted, tethered, stretched, and sutured, embodiments of human frailty and need for visibility beyond the aesthetic gaze." She has received sponsorships from the European Cultural Center (2019), Ajuntament de Gandia (2020), European Cultural Academy, Council of Europe (2016), the Ministries of Art and Culture of France and Poland (2015, 2014), and the US Embassies (2015). Select awards include the United Nations Harmony for Peace Award (2010); Honorable Mention, Rocky Mountain Biennial 2020; Best of Show, Colorado History Museum (2010), and Best of Mixed Media, Artslant ('14-18).

Sue Gibbons is a fine artist residing and working in the Denver Metro area. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions regionally but also internationally with the "Book About Death" at the Brazilian Museum of Sculpture (MUBE) in San Paulo, Brazil. Her work has been included in publications such as Fusion IV, Christianity and the Arts, Mars Hill Review, and First Fruits – A Compilation of Art. Sue believes her abstract work is guided by the Spirit and she hopes it will console the viewer, who may need to find some peace amidst the inner chaos residing in all of us. "As an artist, I seek to reveal the messiness of the human condition at the moment we call on our faith to deliver us from it. The paintings and drawings then, become a sacred place of being, of seeing, and of experiencing that which makes us human." Excerpt from Sue's Artist Statement.

Michele Kishita is a Philadelphia-based artist who uses colors found innature that are not typically associated with “natural” colors and focuseson landscape as her primary subject. Her paintings are strongly influencedby the graphic stylizations and compressed spaces of Japanese ukiyo-e.Kishita’s paintings are in a number of private/corporate collections,including Toyota, Capital One, and Kaiser Permanente, and her work isfeatured in Create Magazine, on the Poetry Foundation blog, and StudioBreak podcast, as well as in several literary journals. She exhibited at theSharjah Art Museum in the United Arab Emirates and the Museum ofNon-Conformist Art in St. Petersburg, Russia. Kishita received both herBFA and MFA in painting from the University of the Arts.Was so great chatting with Michele Kishita, artist, writer and teacher about living in Japan and how that time has influenced her art, how her view of artist residencies has shifted and some of her resident highlights. She also discusses her experiences working with gallerist Bridgette Mayer and synchronicities that occurred that made it feel like the right choice to work with an art coach. She teaches writing and gives some great tips for cleaning up your artist statement and she has some great book recommendations and unconventional tips for gowing tomatoes.About her recent body of work: Absent FuturesAbsent Futures is a new body of work on shou sugi-ban (burnt timber)panels that addresses the current state of deforestation and theopposing concepts of resilience and devastation. While our forests andnatural spaces continue receding due to industry and suburban sprawl,the more catastrophic losses are occurring in the rainforest whereswaths the size of forty football fields disappear each minute.Suggestions of landscape painted onto the burnt surfaces depict amemory of what was while at the same time highlighting what remainsand can still be salvaged. It is a reminder of the persistence andvitality of nature and our role in choosing its success or failure, whichultimately determines our own.Her work in general:“My current work investigates the dialogue between the wooden surfaces on which I paint and the trees from which those panels were built. I highlight the interconnectedness of humans and nature, while addressing life’s impermanence and transience. Industry's straight lines and angles try to control nature, transforming a tree’s rounded mass into flat rectangular sheets; yet, the wood grain’s undulations, marking the tree’s growth and annual water intake, emerge despite its new, boxy confines. A tree's experiences are indelibly written on its interior and at the same time are a historical account of the landscape itself. In my paintings, I strive to conjure the landscape that no longer exists but is inherently contained in each panel while expressing the visual contrast and harmony where human-made structures and nature intersect.” from www.michelekishita.comI also want to speak the name of Jacob Blake and send prayers to his family and loved ones. Yes we still need to  disarm the police and restructure the law enforcement and justice system in this country. Oh and the medical and education systems could use an overhaul too. We have work to do.

Often referencing African American and Global History, my work explores the varying relationships between popular culture and fine art. Having engaged subjects as diverse as the Civil Rights Movement, Women's Rights and Community Issues. My work reproduces familiar visual and conceptual art. While I use a variety of materials and processes in each fine artwork my methodology is consistent. My work has been exhibited at numerous venues in Texas, Florida and New York. The Bydee Art Gallery, The Contemporary Art Museum, Mattie Kelly Art Gallery, Heath Gallery, Open Doors Gallery, People’s Art Gallery, Round Rock Art Space and Conception Art Gallery. The subject matter of each body of work celebrate a rich diversity to encourage young minds to dream and follow their purpose. During research and production new areas of interest arise and lead to the next body of work. Art remains as a strong contender of how we share our thoughts and ideas.

She has been working directly with galleries and artists since 2015 and has helped them thrive in the industry through media opportunities, exhibitions, and curatorial advice. In April 2020, she launched Kefi Art Gallery (www.kefiartgallery.com) - an online fine art gallery where she presents art from a curated roster of local and international artists working in a variety of mediums and art forms. Liza works with various local art businesses and artists and focuses on the business side of the industry, something that is not often discussed at art schools and that many people do not focus on enough.

Liza works to encourage and construct a more inclusive and sustainable art community in Toronto and around the world. Last year, she launched Curator on the Go Podcast as a platform for artists, art professionals, and other creatives to share their stories and work, and to learn from each other, and most importantly, to be inspired to pursue their dreams.

How do you define success? In our second interview with landscape photographer Nat Magnuson, we dig into the story behind his life-long love of photography. An avid backpacker, Nat has been taking photos of the outdoors since he was a child. His photos, which focus on capturing the feeling of a moment are often tied to the story behind them. We dive deep, exploring the idea that it's the journey, wrong-turns and all, that help to define your RoadMap (a book he leant me written by the folks at Roadtrip Nation). If you believe in your creativity, your art will come. We touch on why digital was a limited medium when it first came out and how it's learning the tech well enough to forget about the tech that makes you an expert.

Nat found himself working 85 hours a week he was beginning to feel years of his life slipping away. He had fallen into a Hollywood career that many would find enviable but longed for the open spaces. Nat shares the pivotal moment when he realized that he had amassed a body of work worthy of opening his first gallery, and why for him it's the moments that matter, even if it's never truly captured on film. It is Nat's belief that you can bring your eclectic talents to the table and create your own calling.
