Julia Pagenkopf Fine Art

"Art invites us to take the journey beyond price, beyond costs into bearing witness to the world as it is and as it should be. Art invites us to know beauty and to solicit it from even the most tragic circumstances. Art reminds us that we belong here.  And if we serve, we last. My faith in art rivals my admiration for any other discourse. Its conversation with the public and among its various genres is critical to the understanding of what it means to care deeply and to be human completely.” [From Toni Morrison’s book, The Source of Self-Regard.]
