An "Esprit Voyageur" is a free spirit that travels through life with an open mind and has a willingness to discover and share new horizons, whether they are geographical, musical, photographic, or artistic.

The world of Art is complex and occupies an important place within our society. It is the vocation of the artist to open our minds by allowing us to see, hear, and understand our surroundings, but this role is sometimes taken for granted. The responsibility lies with every individual within a society to use the insight that Art provides and become attuned to the pulse of his or her culture. There are many people in the world who feel within themselves that beautiful drive to create and offer a new perspective, a fresh and exciting angle from which to contemplate life. Some are not as widely know as others, but the significance of their work is not diminished.

With this web page I present to you some of the people and the events that I have encountered along the path of my cultural life. Here, you will find artists who have not yet achieved wide exposure, people admirable for their work and dedication to do what they do, to be who they are, and events that everyone should try to attend.

There is also an inspired list of videos documenting the encounters that I wish to share with the broad community of "Esprits Voyageurs."

 Most of the links below are web sites or films that fall outside of what might be considered “mainstream,” but each of them reveals a strong story, a very different human being that presents a piece to the vast puzzle of life. Whether it is through poetry, music, photography, or another artistic format, you will probably find something here that strikes your interest.

 This web site is a beginning and will continue to be updated regularly.

I know all of the artists listed in these pages personally. Most of them are my friends. If you wish to see or hear more of them, please, write to me, and I will organize some digital content to send you.  

If you wish to support theses artists in some way, please send them a line, or a postcard, but most importantly...buy their art.

I hope that you enjoy this collection of talented people.

Bon voyage!

Esprit Voyageur
