Daily Creating
I paint or sculpt every day now. Though this is new for me as I spend a lot of time mothering, teaching my youngest, and squeezing art into the edges. As a mother I’ve found that my sense of self and art have changed, it is now vital to me that I express, that I find some way to share who I am, what I am, and to let that change and grow in a natural way. It took several years to get to the point where I could not ignore my quest to create art anymore. Every day now I reach small personal victories. I create. I mother, I live, and plan the next drawing, painting, sculpture, or doll. When I pick up a pencil, paintbrush, or clay I feel frenetic energy and appreciation of each of those moments. These things keep me focused, make me appreciate these things help make me the artist I have always felt like I am meant to be. I have a LOT to learn, a lot to teach, and I look forward to both every single day.
