Gabe Wells
Imaginative Realism Painter
As the creative path guides us through ourselves it opens channels of synchronistic emotional experiences that when expressed in a visual form connects our separated subconscious worlds. Art validates our vulnerabilities. It creates identity and fosters a sense of belonging to something more mystical than our reality. It's allowing us to share the human experience like a hug for the universe saying it's going to be okay. You are not alone. We are all going through this.
