Earlier this summer Jeremy and I took the girls on a trip to Sayulita, Mexico, with his parents and brother's family to celebrate my in-law's 40th anniversary. It was a wonderful trip filled with lots of fun experiences. As we explored this beautiful, small town, with cobblestone streets, I was struck by the art I found everywhere! From shop signs, to painted menus, mosaics at the fish shop, to murals on the walls, we were surrounded by art! 
Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
-Pablo Picasso
The work of the artist is to lift up people's hearts and help them endure.
-William Faulkner
Art is the signature of civilizations. -Beverly Sills
