What is art? Is there even an answer? By dictionary definition, art is the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance.  From the beginning, an artist may have to overcome difficulties of many levels.  As an artist myself, I understand that money doesn't really flow when you are just beginning.  If you plan on making any money, you have to get your name into the art community.  Which reminds me, everyone reading this blog should look up 'Yoder's Photography (Anthony Yoder)' on Facebook and LIKE it. An artist has to create pieces that are unique, that stand apart from any other pieces.
     This blog is dedicated, not only to well known artists, but to less known as well.  As an art major at Graceland University, I have the privilege of attending artist talks.  Artists come to campus and give a presentation on their style of art, what they do, how they accomplish it and sometimes even bring some pieces in to put on display.  This allows me an opportunity to help out the less known artists, by getting their names out showing off some of their pieces.
