Essence of an Artist

Primal desires of human beings drive us to imagine and create. Economic barriers are nonexistent with the creative process. Do not stifle the pioneer attitude. In all fields, it is important to express one's ideas as an individual. The healthy growth of a civilization depends on a society that supports unlimited free expression to explore all avenues of invention. Ideas blossom when a community encourages independent and collaborative research and education. The world is always changing. Mistakes are miracles. The more mistakes we make bring us closer to discovery. Life is exciting when we fly like a little bird with the wind and grow with the flow of the unknown. Those who are flexible with positive thoughts smile, stay strong and thrive. Everyone tells you what to do, but no one can tell you how to survive. A dream come true starts with one's belief to keep one's vision alive. Loren Elizabeth Ellis

"Loren Ellis uses photographic images the way Picasso used a paint brush."
