Yazzie I believe the goal of the artist should be to create unique works that visully remind observers of some meaningful area of life.
Spiritual balance is important in order to create unique works.
Each production should be understood intellectually by it's creator. All people are attracted to what is unique and quite often will ask for an interpretation. I pray almost every day for ideas. When I worship God, my sketchbook is in one hand and my Bible is in the other. It is improtant for me to dialoguewith people who live artistically.
