WHY ART MATTERS is a series of interviews with various artists, most of whom are friends I’ve long known. I’ve witnessed the evolution of their craft, their creative passion, their perseverance, and their generosity. Why do we make art? Why is it important? And what impediments inevitably challenge us and how do we resolve them? These are questions we constantly ask ourselves. Answers are never easy, but they are important. Galen Garwood
