Richard Longstreet Artist Statement

​

I grew up among working artists. They became my friends, guides and, in some cases, my employers. Characteristically, these collaborations took place in formal or impromptu art workshops. In working with teachers and students of all ages I was continually reminded that art is a total integration of knowledge and feelings; personal, social and ancestral: a conversation between our deeper selves. In following my teachers and students, I have explored myriad genres. Beneath each, however, I have found that region in which abstract forms ceaselessly shift and coalesce to reveal meaning.
