The OGT Daily #12 Visionary Artists

 I am so grateful for Visionary Artists! The subject of a wonderful show at the Jamestown Art Center in Rhode Island.  https://www.jamestownartcenter.org/exhibitions-current

One of the first visionary artists was also a poet: William Blake.

Tyger, Tyger, burning bright,

In the forests of the night;

What immortal hand or eye,

Could frame they fearful symmetry?

Visionary artists see beyond the realm of the ordinary through eyes that experience the world through extraordinary visions.  This particular show was curated by my own sister Anne. Visionary artist is gaining traction as a new name for Outsider Art or Art Brut. Many visionary artists are considered to marginal by mainstream society and some are living with disabilities. 

What a magnificent show this was with the theme of The Tarot: Past, Present and Future. Thank goodness for their visions of a new kind of future.

What are you grateful for today!
