Tobey Crockett PhD ~ Illuminating the Mystery

art
I have spent the majority of my life in the arts: going to museums and galleries, working in galleries and as a studio assistant, writing criticism, attending art fairs, active in publishing an art & fashion magazine, teaching art history, etc.
And while I have actually made art my entire life, it is only relatively recently (the past ten years or so) that I have come out of the "art closet" and called myself an artist without apology. I paint, create installations and do performance work in sacred clowning. I teach this work as well as create it for myself.
I work in many media and in several different styles, including decorative, pop, primitive, conceptual and fine art. Take your pick. My feeling is that everyone deserves to have great art in their lives - and better yet, they should learn to make some and get an even better sense of what makes great art so invaluable.
Art brings our hearts and souls alive to the beauties of this world, beauty that is literally in front of us every moment of the day. We just need to open our eyes - both inner and outer - to see it.
