I believe the objective for an artist is to always create something sincere and, at the same time, something that will appreciate in value. Like a poem, it must ring true. Like a violin, the creation should not be something that will depreciate with time. Just the opposite - like a Stradivarius violin. Some violins are not only tools of the trade for a violinist, but are great works of art as well. I truly hope this one appreciates. Wish me luck.
