Who I AM

My name is Marc Archer and I’m an artist.

While I’ve been creative my entire life, I’ve never felt like I could embrace that label. 

I’m a graphic designer who writes songs, plays music, likes to cook and do woodworking. But I’ve never thought of myself as an “artist.” An artist is too talented. That’s not me. An artist is dedicated and imaginative. An artist is a person with a vision who can see the world from a different perspective. I can’t do all of that.

But recently, I’ve come to realize that the essence of art is creation. It’s taking one thing (or many things) and making something entirely new.

In that sense, we’re all artists, right? Every meal we cook, every job we do, every yard we mow, every child we raise, every Facebook post, every word or encouragement, every smile, they make a difference. In small and sometimes profound ways, we change the world.

So going forward, I choose to embrace the fact that I’m a creative being and use my art to, in some tiny way at least, make the world a better, more beautiful place. I hope you’ll join me on that journey.
