Art reflects who we are as people, our daily struggles, our personal lives, thoughts and ideas. It is how people react to the world. It reflects the personal, national, social, religious, and racial. Aristotle believed that poetry and art are more philosophic and more important than history. Today most of us do not agree. Most people now do not view art as a thing of importance. It is more viewed as part of lives that is not necessary.
Artist William Finch writes of his painting, "It is with that foundation- whether painting rich and textured floral scenes, capturing snapshots of life, showcasing man's present plight for completion and meaning, or making commentary on the persecuted church... his work reflects the redemptive and points to a final culmination where the undesirable and broken can be made whole."
