Profiles & Interviews
These articles feature some of the most admirable artists I have come across—designers, painters, sculptors, draftsmen, architects, photographers, filmmakers, conservators, musicians, etc. They are admirable not only because of the amazing and beautiful works they create, but more so because they are good people. Within the struggles of daily living they strive to be even better. The creative process is a humbling process that constantly reminds them of how they are serving as conduits for the inexplicably transcendent.
