We live in a world divided by thousands of spoken languages. A person from Japan and a person from Brazil may not be able to talk to one another, but they can both stand before the same painting and feel a surge of hope, fear, or wonder.

Some artists start with an idea and then choose colors to match. But there is another way to create. You can let color lead the way. You pick up a vibrant red and suddenly you know where the piece needs to go.

Everyone has a story to tell, but not everyone can tell it the same way. Some people express themselves best through words, while others find their voice through music, dance, or art.
