If you can fix the screen door or replace your old garbage disposal, even change the tire on a car, a lot of people don't even know how to do that.

“My greatest passion has always been connecting with creative people, appreciating the artistic and discovering fresh perspectives on the world. I came on board to use my experience in building an international community of photographers, illustrators and video artists at iStockphoto who learned, grew and sold their work to millions around the world. Building a community that large requires personality, a keen sense of what both the contributing artists and the buying audience need, and an ability to balance both. I wanted very much to transfer those skills to the fine art world.” PeopleWorldArtArtistPassionCommunityAbilityAudienceCreativeBuildingPerspectivePersonalityBalanceAppreciatePhotographerArtisticCreative PeopleFine Arts Author:Bruce Livingstone
