I would like to talk today on behalf of those who can see art in everything around them. It's not a gift we are born with, but rather a skill we develop through visual curiosity and observation. A puddle of milk spilled on the floor in a work environment maybe reveals just a mess that needs to be cleaned up or a composition of geometric forms that evoke suprematism.A pile of cardboard boxes maybe just part of studio assignment left for a classmate or maybe a deconstructed version of David reinterpreted and ...

I co-own a creative agency where we build brands and logos for startups. I paint murals on big walls for busi ...
