"It is art that lights the fire for us to push and grow..."

Artist Michael Newberry with a painting from his Eudaemonia series

“So many disciplines add to our evolution—philosophy, psychology, sciences. . .—but none of them are ends in themselves except for art. . . . It is art that lights the fire for us to push and grow, it is art that refuels our spirit when it is exhausted and can’t do more, and it is art that rewards us for a job well done and life well lived.”

~ Artist Michael Newberry, from his stunning new book Evolution Through Art
