 Do you worry about having enough money to last throughout retirement? Give Reed Potter at Raymond James a call. Reed has 26 years experience helping folks enjoy their best life in their retirement years. On Friday, January 12th, the Mountain Art Center will be featuring two local artists as part of a free exhibition. Brett Bentley and Wesley Hunt will be making an appearance to showcase and discuss their artistic visions followed by a musical performance. All featured artworks will be available for viewing at 6 p.m. I want it to be freedom, right? I want my art to free people's spirit. I want to inspire people. So that's why I show it. That's been very therapeutic for me. We want people to come and participate with us, talk to us, be there, be part of it. It's not necessarily a show or come look at what I did, but we want to welcome everyone. Let them enjoy what we enjoy, myself and Wesley Hunt together. Whether it's painting or some other form of media, Bentley's goal is to inspire others to create through his works. To him, creativity is an essential part of life. Well, I would say with the type of painting that I do, it is a very cathartic process. So I want people to experience emotions. I want them to experience my emotions and their emotions when they look at the work. I want it to inspire them to be creative themselves. I think creativity is essential for humankind. I think we need to be creative in all aspects of life. So, yeah, I maybe not inspire people to paint necessarily or to do any one particular creative medium, but just to allow creativity to happen in them so they can create the life that they want.
