Visual Arts

“I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way—things I had no words for,” American painter Georgia O’Keeffe once said. Visual art opens up new possibilities for sharing ideas that extend beyond the page or the canvas; we’re excited to include a wide range of visual art, including photography, ceramics, sculpture, watercolor and oil paintings, pen-and-ink drawings, and more.
