I have been thinking lately…How can these three come together to support the efforts of others and build a better world for all? What role can art play here? What role can I play?

More Adventure • Less Convention
Santa Fe
After 3 years of pandemic, natural disasters, domestic and international terror, and more...I still don't feel like I have any better sense of the world or where things are going.

These are truths that do make sense. -

The Poetry of Hope
Edward Corbett: May 2021
It has been a while since I've reached out.
Here in New Mexico, everything has begun to reopen . . . from spring flowers and leaves, to businesses and restaurants. Things feel more hopeful than they have in quite a while.
So, I thought I’d put together a small showing f one of my favorite artists -- Edward Corbett -- whose canvases themselves emanate a visual poetry of hope.
