Art: Lives. People Making Connections Through Art

I wrote a piece, “Stories Behind the Canvases: My Relationship to an Art Legacy” for the website Art: Lives – People Making Connections Through Art.  The site’s goal and purpose is to be a place for people to share the art they collect and the stories behind the art in their lives.  It’s about trying to better understand how, “artistic expression impacts us and people we know.”  I’m excited about writing for this site because it’s a place where the stories behind the art are just as important as the art itself.  It’s the perfect place for me to express my passion both for my great-grandfather’s art and to explain why I’m compelled to search for the missing pieces from the original collection.  [Full disclosure: The website is run by my cousin’s husband.]
