	How has art affected your life and who or what are your strongest influences? My mother, Evelise, is an architect and artist, and she designed many structures around Ta'Illistim over the years including the bridges, a wing of Library Aies, and the soldier's guild. My father, Mechryn, was a student of lore in art history and specialized in 13th-to 16th millennium pre-modern era elven architecture himself. My aunt, Esantra, occasionally holds artist-in-residence at the City College in Ta'Loenthra, where she spent many decades as an adjunct professor. One a master at her craft, one a student of life, and the third, a teacher to many. Each provided me with excellent insight into those experiences and their journeys. They gave me structure and the breadth of their own special influence for the creative pursuits encouraged me to find my own path, just as they had found theirs.

	Do you have a favourite painting or series within your own collection of works? I am most fond of my Southron Wastes series of watercolors, many of which were painted - or sketched - traveling through that area about a decade ago. I first began painting them based on sketches in books in the library, only to come to see and depict those places in real life many years later. While they do not hold awards like some of my more famous landscapes (such as the Sylvarraend Seasons), I appreciate them for the progression both in craft and skill, the representation of a shift in mindset around how nature is depicted in art, and how a physical location and change the perspective and outcome for the artist (myself in this case, if I may be so clinical).

Bohemianism is a term used to describe the practice of an unconventional lifestyle, often in the company of like-minded people lacking permanent ties, and it usually involves musical, artistic, literary or spiritual pursuits.

	Bohemians tend to be associated with unorthodox political or social viewpoints, which are often expressed through free love, frugality, and, in some cases, simple living or voluntary poverty. A more privileged, wealthy, or aristocratic bohemian circle is sometimes referred to as being "high bohemia", and this expression comes to mind when one ~~thinks of~~ the Silithyr family.

	Art is usually associated with gallery or museum exhibits, whether it's a painting predating the Undead War or an illuminated missal dedicated to an [[Arkati]], but towns and cities will often use sculptures and plaques to add interest to their thoroughfares and buildings to inform people. You have only to visit the [[Hanesyddol Museum]] of [[Ta'Loenthra]] - a major institution of the fine arts – to see magnificent landscapes, both old and new, or simply wander the weys and vars of Ta'Illistim to view its many memorials.

	However, there is so much more to art than what you see on display. Without being aware of it, we are surrounded by art and use it on a continual basis. Most people ~~don’t~~ realize how much of a role it plays in ~~our~~ lives and just how much we rely on it in all of its forms.		However, there is so much more to art than what you see on display. Without being aware of it, we are surrounded by art and use it on a continual basis. Most people don't realize how much of a role it plays in their lives and just how much they rely on it in all of its forms.

	Chances are that you own some form of artwork. The first thing that comes to mind is, of course, a painting or tapestry on the wall of your home or shop. Even if you don't own a home, you would be surprised at how much artwork you actually have. Art is not purely for looking at and admiring, a lot of it is functional too. Everything from a picture locket around your neck to a decorated teacup or a magically imbedded figurine in a looted treasure chest can be considered a form of art.

	Art is evident everywhere; its importance and value in our daily lives very similar to that of music. While it's not vital to fulfill our basic needs, it can have a huge effect on our mood and emotions. Inspirational art, such as a tattoo or a crest, is often used to represent something such as a significant life event or family history. There may be a piece of art that you own that you personally find motivational. Perhaps a piece of jewelry that engenders joy or has a quote beautifully scrolled on it with a positive affirmation. It might also be a postcard of a picturesque scene of where you aim to visit one day or evokes a fond memory.

	Modest to a fault, it took some persuasion before Elaejia would share her favorite piece within her own collection. It was in fact a work in progress and her description was mesmerizing. Miming a large ovoid shape in the air, she went on to describe an abstract elven facial form in pumice and incised with bone. The nonchalantly added detail that she was encouraging a colorful collection of ~~Glydemar~~-sourced lichens to grow on it as a lacework mask was both innovative and, quite frankly, disturbing but its evolution obviously excited her.
