Why does any artist make art? Most artists wonder about this from time to time through their journey of art making. I know I do. I think the reasons evolve much like the art does. I can start with the intention of developing an idea in a certain way, but eventually throughout the process, it is the art itself that speaks and I respond to it. Painting is a search. It is a reveal. For reason's only deeply felt by the artist guide the way along the path...memories, sparks of thought, joy, surprise, disappointment, anticipation, fear, celebration, doubt, all these things accompany the painter.
