Art isn’t just a hobby—it’s also a form of training for business, innovation, and cultural development. Today’s executive is a complex and sophisticated individual who must manage systems profitably. That means competing against equally intelligent and capable professionals from other companies and countries. Art can support this preparation process by offering new insights. When these insights are combined with systems thinking and tactical knowledge, they can lead to specific, valuable outcomes.

Consider the study The Role of Art in Business , which highlights how art can break down silos, promote experimentation, and help create inclusive cultures of innovation. The ultimate goal in business is to generate practical, revenue-producing ideas that align with both organizational and societal contexts. Art can offer new pathways to understanding complex problems.

Take, for example, this art piece I’m calling “The Dancing ?” It was originally meant to be an abstract impression of a tango dancer. But after a number of mistakes and some free-flow drawing, I ended up with something I’m not quite sure how to define. 😐🙈

Maybe it’s an abstract dancer? Or a peanut in costume? Someone else said a soul reaching for heaven. Another a Native American lady dancing. Another indicated it was a personal victory and called it "Yes!". One believed it was Plankton from Sponge Bob and still another believed it was upside down and respresents someone jumping into the unknown. Or something else entirely different. What’s clear is that it’s reaching—it's the focal point of the composition. It invites interpretation. I can’t tell you exactly what it is, other than to say it started as a tango dancer.

I’ve never claimed to be a master artist; it’s just a hobby. But if you’re interested in purchasing a piece from my gallery, I do my best to put any proceeds toward good causes and donations. This abstract artwork can be yours—a true one of a kind!
