For the artist, the canvas is a mouthpiece. She speaks with vibrant colors, bold strokes, and fine lines. The artist whispers her secrets, shares her passion, expresses her anguish, and taunts her sensibilities.

“If I could say it in words, there would be no reason to paint.” —Edward Hopper

The guitar player is a different breed of human. She loves nothing more passionately than strumming those strings as if they were made of the most exquisite silk.

“My guitar is not a thing. It is an extension of myself. It is who I am.”—Joan Jett

Loving books is a wonderful thing. It let her step into the minds of people she’d never get the chance to meet. Books take her to places she might never get to explore. They broaden her mind, make her feel less alone in the world, and unite her with other book lovers far and wide.

“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies.”—George R.R. Martin​
