Art lovers



ART LOVERS - THOSE WONDERFUL PEOPLE!

Being an artist is quite a task since one is his own secretary, marketer, producer, publicist, PR person and so on - endlessly. I can easily forget people who actually love art and its makers. I had an opurtunity to have an exhibition in a small gallery of Liisa Ekquist this year. It raelly is a small one but the more lovely, too.

Liisa and Juhani are wonderful, warm-hearted art lovers. There are not many like them. The place they have chosen is an old house near the center of Noormarkku. A small town that few go to see an exhibition. People visiting the place are mostly local and for this very reason people like them are so important. There would be nothing without them! This is like offering people free peak to the world of art. No cost there.

I suppose this used to be the way of early art lovers all over the World. Showing images and works of art to their friends, colleagues and even to the normal people sorrounding them. Not being selfish, these people try to share their passion to others and convince the overall public of the value of art. This, of course, mostly on their own cost and freetime.

Thank you Liisa and Juhani that there are people like you around! Thank you a lot!
