Jeanette's statement
Why art? ART has always been something intimidating but fascinating to me. Not because it is difficult, but because it has no central point of view. Every person has a differing view of what ART is. It can be difficult to look at another person’s work and think it strange or useless, and it is so intimidating because you never know whose point of view is “the right one.” It is that intimidation however that makes creating a new work so fascinating; to chance your point of view and be able to express the thoughts and ideas you possess in the way you choose, whether “right” or “wrong.” Why art? Because it is through art that I am able to step outside of the expectations of others and create a method of exposing any and every aspect of myself, from my point of view. That is why art.
