In addition to art, travel has always been one of my passions. I’m not too picky about the destination; you name it, I’ll pack my bag. This year my travels have focused on the US where a certain type of journey has been popular for generations. I’m talkin’ about hitting the open highway.<\/p>\n

The road: a rich and symbolic subject in our nation’s creative history. Muse to artists, photographers, song writers, authors, and more, the road never ceases to be alluring visually or metaphorically.<\/p>\n

Ronald Primeau author of Romance of the Road says, “Americans are in love with roads and cars, and we celebrate this in song, literature, poetry, film, and video. There is a long history of Americans traveling the highway. It’s a sacred space, an epic quest. We all have our stories. Getting away is a chance at a new start, a time to discover self and country, glide through vast empty spaces and then come home to write or sing about the adventures.”<\/p>\n

I recently came across a great blog about a road journey<\/a>. After being let go from her 12-year video production job at General Motors, Sandi Wheaton traveled from Chicago to LA via Route 66.<\/p>\n

Sandi Wheaton "Route 66 Road Shield" sandiwheaton.com<\/p><\/div>\n

With a Jeep, an Aliner trailer and a bunch of cameras including one using beautiful-but-now-obsolete Kodak black and white infrared film, this was a trip she’d wanted to take for years and finally she had the time. Like many artists out there, Sandi hopes to find a new path doing what she loves most: traveling, taking pictures and sharing what she discovers.<\/p>\n

Regardless of the medium, what often comes of this type of soul searching journey is pure art. With little effort, you’ll find inspiring examples of road-inspired artistry all around you. If you’re new to the appeal of the road you’re sure to fall in love with this subject matter in a heartbeat.<\/p>\n
