My Artists

If you’ve checked out my About Me page, then you’ve gotten a written account of my passion for art. But we’re talking about visual media here! So, to show you what my tastes are and what I’m about, below are some links to my favorite artists and art movements. I like color — that’ll be obvious if you look at most of these sites. It’s the purest expression of emotion when properly used with the other Elements of Art and Principles of Design. Where words can’t suffice, images surpass.
