I spoke briefly this week with artist d’Elaine Johnson, whose exhibit, World Waters, opens next Monday (interview to come). Johnson is in her 90s and she spoke so joyfully of her craft. Also this week, I’ve been helping prepare young artists for the Sherwood Elementary talent show. One of the singers said singing “makes me feel taller.” It struck me, speaking with Johnson, the importance of a lifelong commitment to art and creativity. Whether the artist is 9 or 90, there is an infectious beauty in the creative process.
