IN PLAIN SIGHT~ What this thing is all about...


"In Plain Sight" ~ A print and video essay series of studio visit interviews with artists who live full and divergent lives under the fire of their own creative process.
In this series we follow a diverse cross section of artists for one year.

There are a large and diverse number of artists who are hiding “In Plain Sight” working successfully and prolifically outside of the mainstream markets; they are doing inspiring and groundbreaking work in their homes, studios and communities.
These artists are entrepreneurs, educators, engineers, community organizers, etc.
They are men and women of all ages, races, cultures and religions and practice a number of creative genres in the visual, literary and performing arts. 
By evidence of their prolific and divergent lives, these artists challenge and dispel the many myths and pre-conceived notions about what an artist is, and replace them with the fuller story of the many ways in which art, and arts creation direct and inform all aspects of their lives, the lives of those in their community and by extension, the world.
These artist’s stories and their works are woven into the rich fabric of all communities they inspire… and must be shared.
This blog is years in the making!! 
In the coming weeks I will be featuring a selection of dynamic artists, their lives and their works along with some interesting tid~bits, impressions, observations or straight up conjecture on happenings & goings on both globally and locally. Here creativity & humanity meet to tell a story...
