Art has had enough of an effect on me that I went from being a Boatswain's Mate in the Navy, and an infantryman in the Army, to getting a bachelor's degree in Fine Art and dedicating my life to art. It is cathartic to me and helps me out my military experiences into perspective.

I honestly do not know anyone by the name of Art. My uncle Art passed away many years ago and he never had much influence over me? I hope that helps.

I'm surrounded by it daily as the state of Oregon has established an administrative rule:
1% FOR ART IN PUBLIC BUILDINGS
The purpose of this rule is to:
(1) Establish procedures for acquisition of works of art in an amount of 1% of direct construction costs of any project for the construction or alteration of any State Building in an amount of $100,000 or more.
(2) Promote placement of visual art of the highest quality where it can be easily viewed by the general public.
(3) Utilize the talent of artists and craftspeople.
(4) Preserve, encourage, and promote public awareness and understanding of the arts.

Art relaxes me, helps me clear my head. It really helps me open my mind in designing websites.

Taking pictures of stellar objects helps level me out and makes me realize my problems aren't that bad.
