Happy New Year!
It is that time of year where we look back and reflect on what has passed. As we do, we are so grateful for the people we have met, the places seen and our careers. Being in the art field is not always easy as with many fields, however, it is rewarding. Casey will often say he is honored to be supported by you and a part of your art collection. This is because we both truly enjoy knowing that what we do brings beauty into your life.
Art is so many things to us. It not only beautifies our homes, workplaces and the world around us; it connects with us on a deeper level emotionally and intellectually. The beauty of art evokes hope, recalls memories and reflects our voice.
As I look around my home at our art collection, I am engulfed in its meaning. Each piece has touched me at different times. I am so thankful for the memories of family & friends, places & things I have seen, hard times endured, and the pure beauty of life.
I was reminded last night of how long art has been part of our cultures and who we are as people. We had an artist friend staying with us and at dinner we were talking about a web article titled, Top 10 Oldest Pieces of Art Ever Discovered by Saugat Adhikari. The article includes sculpture and cave drawing dating back to 30,000 – 700,000BC. I love how it says, “These discoveries suggest that different forms of art have been practiced throughout the [history] of mankind. Cave art and sculpture was common…”. The impact art has through history amazes me! It is very exciting to know that something you do will continue through the ages, impacting generations to come.
Thank you for reading my blog today. I look forward to continuing to share with you. The next blog post will be a “Behind the Art” in depth look at one of Casey’s pieces. Please let me know if there is a specific topic or sculpture you would like to hear about.
Sincerely,
Careyann Horn
