A very interesting thought....

In the New Somerset Apprentice magazine, Pam Carriker has these words that she shares.  I just thought it was so cool to think that we, as artists, are leaving a legacy.  How fun to think that possibly future generations will find our artwork; examine and study it; talk about it and treasure it as a piece of the past.  I love that thought-it feels so magical.

"Sharing techniques is not just something 'nice' to do, it's really our job
 as artists. Art is a movement, it doesn't just sit still but moves in new directions,

 constantly redefining itself , constantly moving. I heard
 somewhere that there are no new techniques, just the same things being used
 in new ways. That's an interesting way to look at things. It helps us to see
 that 'we' are just vessels that the techniques flow through and what comes
 out from our hand has its own unique look to it because we each bring our
 own muse to the table."  PAM CARRIKER
