If you’ve ever wondered about the lack of pictures on this blog it is not because I have anything against them. Contrarily I am a painter, an artist, and live in spaces with constant visual stimulation. My eyes devour the world around them, after all, I am obsessed with beauty.
I leave pictures at the gateway of my poems because I want the challenge of creating a mental image out of words. When I describe a breeze, or a cherry tree, or a dream, or a friend I would hate to have any reader be distracted by a picture. An image can devalue the simplicity of black letters against white pages.
But as I have disclaimed, I love photos and pictures, and would loathe to have anyone think otherwise. So, I extend an invitation, should your eye be needy as your ear, to follow my personal Instagram, and see the world as I do.
I can be found as “sayloresees” and I would be honored to inspire all others who are beauty inclined or wish to be.
