Art and the truth about storytelling…

About 44,000 years ago, in a cave in Indonesia, a story was told. A group hunt for the wild water buffalo. This is the first recorded story and the first work of art (as far as we are aware). Art came before cities, before written law. Art came before wine. Art came before bread.  We are participating in a tradition that is as old as clothing!  Creatives have been participating in an unbroken chain of artists, of storytellers going back millennia.  What a feeling to be a part of this awesome tradition.

My goal as an artist is to break down barriers.  To draw people together to listen, to care, to understand each other and to tear down this illusory idea of Us vs Them.

Now more than ever, stories and their storytellers are needed. 

We are in this big, crazy world together and the best gift that we can give are the stories we tell.  Voice is so powerful because it lets us harmonize with others, while expressing our own stories.

Keep telling yours.

Felicia.
