| Title | Jessica Jean, by Peter Livingston Myer |
| Artist | Myer, Peter Livingston |
| Description | The first level of self-creation is your own image. You can create yourself physically and mentally. We have the power to change what we don't like about ourselves and create a new self image. It is important, however that we learn to sort out those things that we cannot change from those that we can, and to examine carefully the motives for change. Recognition, acceptance and even celebration of those characteristics that make us unique is at the heart of what being an artist is all about. Although we can create many aspects of our identity, the core essence of who we are is the raw material that inevitably will and should find expression in our lives. Our art is and becomes, a re-creation of our identity with all of its blemishes, lumps, and irregularities, an eloquent revelation of who we are. Truth is still at the heart of what beauty is. Integrity in art is the revelation of the truth of who we are. |

| About the Artist | Peter is a well loved and influential teacher and student of the arts. He has authored a book entitled "Art Do It." Myer retired from Brigham Young University after teaching for nearly 30 years. Although the human figure has been his primary focus, recently he has been doing "skyscapes" from his deck, sketching quickly as the clouds and light changed.
Myer's work has been exhibited in major museums throughout the country. He is best known for his kinetic light sculpture, which has been featured in Time magazine, The New York Times and a number of other publications. His most recent kinetic work includes a mirrored chamber installation, Worlds Without End, and an interactive work, Sing to the Spheres. |
