Folk Art

Art by ordinary people is such a pleasure to see.

I absolutely LOVE it when someone--like a delicatessen butcher--decorates his work (like meatloaf in the above photo!) with handmade creations--don't you?

It gives me a feeling of hope in our prefabricated, prepackaged, more and more sterile world.

Life is short--use it creatively.

Bosses, your employees are human beings--let them express themselves in the ways they find beautiful even when they are on the clock and some of their happiness might come back to even you!
