Art & Design Stamps
How do art and design differ? Hard question because worthwhile art, I feel, requires good design and composition but design is a subcategory of art and can be an entity onto itself. Home decor and interior design can be artistic, due to the creative nature in which man conceives and makes it, but is it art? My belief is that when stand-out design is recognized on its own then it is art. Here’s an example of the contemporary furniture designs by Ray & Charles Eames, which are now featured on a collection of US postal stamps.
Here’s a link to an earlier post mentioning art in everyday things such as stamps.
Another philosophical and fun link to musings on “What is Art?” This video cracks me up!
Here’s a shout out to my son Jackson today, who turns 16! Happy Birthday!

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
