To promote the use of art for raising awareness about the developing world
About Simon Bird
TravelArtist.info was created by Simon Bird in 2003. The aim of the website is to promote painting and sketching as a medium to describe the developing world. By giving the public an artists view of the world, we hope to inspire more individuals to take up the brush or some other form of art when travelling around our planet.
"Communication makes its most impact on the viewer, when they can see it has been hand crafted with individual expression." |
