Dalton Rooney: Lead with your heart

Dalton Rooney on art and intellectual analysis:

The primary value of art in my eyes goes far beyond intellectual discourse. I look to art for inspiration, for an emotional connection with others. I choose to make art because I am in a constant state of wonder about the world I live in, and the process of creation is my struggle to communicate that wonder to others.

This is pretty close to my own feelings about the subject.
