I have been an artist my whole life. Up until now that meant exactly what it sounds like, I can paint, I can draw, I can take a decent photograph, I have an eccentric imagination. I have a gift. Recently I have discovered something very important, there is so much more. There is so much more to life, and there can be so much more to having such a beautiful gift.
After my graduation and my year off, I hope to return to school more focused, with a goal I believe in and want very much! I really wish to get back to school, I'm ready to learn from great artists who have managed to figure out how to use their gift for the good of others. My hope as an artist and as a member of humanity is to do just that. I want to take my gift and let it grow, I want to let the world see it and show other artists the way; give them the confidence that I am slowly gaining to be happy with themselves and follow their dreams no matter what. This world is tough and I have now come to understand the only thing I truly want to accomplish in my life is making as many people as happy as I can, including myself. I want every artist with a paintbrush in their hand, proud of what they are and what they can create. It is very easy for an artist to get discouraged but my hope is that I can succeed and then be a role-model for other artists to realize they don’t need to fit into the cookie-cutter to succeed, they can do what they love and not fail! In order for this to work for me I need some help, I need school. I need other artists around me to keep me going. I thrive when I’m around artistic minds, when I have assignments I need to think about and work hard on. I wish to learn the skills needed to promote myself, to create a name and business that will show my hard work and inspire younger artists. A world without art is a world I do not want to live in! I hope to keep making beauty happen and I want others to keep making what’s beautiful to them happen as well. We have a gift, with that gift comes a right to show the world what’s deep inside of us. With that right we have a responsibility to show others it’s okay to look inside and find something real in a world were real is becoming nonexistent. I want to be a part of making the art world stay strong, and mean something more than a client or a paycheck. Life is worth so much more and I intend to make mine and other artists’ as loving and happy as I possibly can. Taylor Yetto
With a paint brush in hand I have this place, a very happy place that won’t ever disappear, a place where I can always go when there is nowhere else. This place is within me; it runs through my veins, it travels from my terrified brain down to my dancing toes, deep inside my heart, swarming throughout my body, this place is part of my “soul,” and it’s a beautiful place. I am consumed by it. I love it. I have a place where I feel free and I feel beautiful and, so incredibly… at peace. I don’t have to worry about this place ever leaving me, all I need is some paint and some Carol King and nothing can break me when I’m there. Nothing can stop that happiness, that love, it doesn’t go away, I feel complete there. I want to share this place with you; it’s too beautiful to not. It’s too much for only me to hold, you deserve a piece of it. Everyone deserves a piece of it: that feeling, that place. When you look at my art, my hope is that you can see me, see into my soul, see what I care about most and find your own place of inner peace and love, find it, and FEEL it. Feel love for what’s real to you, what’s pure and beautiful, what’s inside, deep inside. Looking around nothing seems real anymore. Nothing is true, nothing of actual importance seems to have a part in the world, and it saddens me to see this. Art still means something. Artist’s hands and hearts are marvelous things that create meaning again. If you’re a person that would take the time out of your day to read this, when you look through this site, really look, really understand in your own way, try to go to that place. That beautiful place I can try to describe to you for hours upon hours and you would still have no clue until you experience it. You have to feel it for yourself and you’re the only one who can do it. Please look at this art, and actually look, actually feel yourself becoming one with what you’re observing. I promise, if you get this feeling, if you can find this place in you, you’ll realize the true happiness that I feel with a paint brush in my hand and the music of my heart playing away with no end… and you’ll love this place, love it more then anything, just like I do. Enjoy :) |
