There is a certain soothing aspect of art, especially when we allow ourselves to feel the vulnerabilities of our human frailty. Art has the ability to reach in and touch those vulnerabilities and give us wings. It is an expression of the artist, one that we can feel within ourselves, if we give it a chance. Art evokes a response. It does not have to be a happy response, it can be an angry response, but it touches the humanity… if we let it.

I am always amazed, when I view visual art, at how beautiful art truly is. It has been in recent years that my love affair with abstract art has grown. I suppose, if I liken it to my own art form (music), it is easier for me to understand. For, to me, music is like breathing and it is a continual flow of art. Ms. Haymart’s art is nothing short of stimulating, and for me, as a musician, very inspiring. I imagine that many artists desire to go pick up their paintbrush and find the canvas when viewing art that moves them. I crave the feel of the keys beneath my fingers and the exhilarating sense that only the exhaling of music provides.

I love the name of Ms. Fowler’s web site, ‘Blissful Pumpkin.” I couldn’t resist using it in the title of her interview. But more than that, her artwork is to love! Who can resist the color and playfulness of her Angel painting, or the detail and depth in her portraits. And, this from such a busy wife and Mum! Where does she find the time? Gaze with me, at her art and the person behind the art, as she tells us a bit about herself here.

ET’s doodles can’t help but entertain you and start you craving more. To say that ET is talented is an understatement! Her designs are delightful!
