Readers may ask why authors write art books. What is the benefit of this book and all my other art-themed books? Well, it is to document, not just for me, but for historical value, my life and the lives of all artists that I feature from a diverse category of famous and not-so-famous artists. Developing a track record of our work is essential not just for us but for the next generation of artists on the horizon. Recall that many artists gained fame and fortune after their time, long after their gravestones needed remodeling. Vincent van Gogh is one such artist who only sold one painting in his lifetime. His fame and fortune came through his wife and brother, his posthumous advocates who shone the spotlight on his works. Well, I am not waiting to die as there might not be activists ready and willing to take on such a challenge on my behalf, especially since I spent 20 years studying to be a business person, an educator, and not an artist of any measure. You, the readers, are my only hope. Go for it
