Whether it’s a child’s first finger painting or an expensively-framed work of renown, art plays a powerful role in life.

Most all of us can remember dabbling in art as children – using crayons to draw, clay to sculpt or over-sized brushes to paint.

Some stick with art and continue to hone their skills as they get older, while many others let that specific outlet for creativity fade from their day-to-day existence.
