Artists at times have the challenge and gift of interpreting stories that are delivered in verbal language. They may respond to the imagery “painted” by authors and other storytellers or can choose to depict an emotional or intellectual response to an interior state. Realistic or abstract, internal or external, art expands the narrative of storytelling into the visual realm.
