From my inbox, in an ArtsKentucky enewsletter:
How often people speak of art and science as though they were two entirely different things, with no interconnection. An artist is emotional, they think, and uses only his intuition; he sees all at once and has no need of reason. A scientist is cold, they think, and uses only his reason; he argues carefully step by step, and needs no imagination. That is all wrong.
The true artist is quite rational as well as imaginative and knows what he is doing; if he does not, his art suffers. The true scientist is quite imaginative as well as rational, and sometimes leaps to solutions where reason can follow only slowly; if he does not, his science suffers. – Isaac Asimov, The Roving Mind

Hi Ashley,
This project is such a great idea. I just wrote a short post about you on the blog I recently started highlighting charities, etc.
Keep up the good work, the pieces are beautiful. I might have to order a print from you after I get set up in my apartment

Thank you Maria, I really appreciate it. If there’s a particular painting you want a print of that’s not available by clicking on the “costume order affordable prints here” button, just let me know and I’ll be sure to add it to the paintings offered.
