Chris Just
Artist’s Statement
You need to make a leap of faith in order to create a vision.
There's a fear and magic in the leap.
As an artist, you reveal a lot of yourself in order that you connect emotionally with your work. I enjoy the escape into the narrative. It is a journey to the inner realm and there is power in the journey. Creative expression is a basic human need and maintains our sense of wellbeing.Biography
