Art is all around us, both naturally and human created. It encompasses so many things; beauty, feelings, imagination, stories, remembrances...in fact, anything we want it to, limited only by our own thoughts. Ambience, the atmosphere of a place, describes art perfectly to me. Paintings, drawings, collage or whatever, having even just one work hanging in your space has a fabulous ability to completely change the ambience, one's view of life, one's mental and spiritual well-being. I vote for art!
