Inspired

by Liane

By: Liane Schmidt

Artists are constantly working toward creating something new, something fresh that no one has ever thought of before, something so incredible that the public will be moved beyond words; art that will last in our hearts and become a part of our soul, changing us forever.

Inspiration, hope, good will all the things that infuse each and every one of us with the zest and vitality for life to keep making positive change in this world. Each and every one of us can, it is, of course not just the artist who has this power.

Through art, with films like Ladder 49 and United 93, we can see how art brings to light the amazing, unbelievable beauty in the bravery, strength and courage of those who walk silently through the crowds as nameless passerby. Their lives radiate the highest form of inspiration, and artists can simply put pen to paper, thoughts to screen, and emotions in music to do their best to exemplify the glory of human effort and strength.

Our teachers, our artists, our heroes all paint this world. All make life worth living, reminding us how very precious time is and our freedom in this great nation.

I am proud to be an artist (writer, poet) and I am moved beyond words everyday by my fellow countrymen and women. God bless America and each and every one of us.

    I spend most of my money for this business. In many ways, I do not or barely make enough back that covers all of those expenses. I don't think people realize the costs of being a performer. It's not [...]
