Creativity is one thing that flows through every facet of my life. I have always had visions of art works that play in my mind. In the past I did start several pieces of art, only to put them aside. Mainly because life was too busy with work, errands, chores, cooking, laundry, etc. And it was just excuses. I have a very vibrant and colorful minds eye. There are always different visions and they are all filed away in my mind, just waiting for their chance to come to life.

When I’m in art-mode, I prefer to be without distraction, with plenty of space to do what I envision. All that artwork is just biding it’s time, waiting to ‘become’…quietly. My art has always been this almost visceral part of me. And it started all the way back in kindergarten and just bloomed from there. I LOVE color and form and always dreamt to starting to sculpt. Because I wanted to create pieces that could be touched and seen. Lighting up several senses at once.

And during my time in Europe, I remember touring castles and wondering if those artists and artisans EVER intended for their work to be condoned off to the public. Of course I ‘do’ understand that the oils on our hands deteriorate the art. And that it needs to be preserved for future generations. I do. But I kind of hope that if my work ever becomes sought after or noteworthy, that sone pieces will still know the beauty of an admiring touch, long after I’m gone.

Being artistic has SO many definitions. It’s not just artwork, but so many other things as well. I embrace several ways of creation. And I will share more of them here, as I go. But for now, I’m just going to close my waking eyes and let my minds eye show me all the beauty I intend to share with the world in the future. Because right now, I’m simply not in the space I need to be in, to start bringing them to life just yet. It’s awesome to daydream sometimes. It takes my mind off my woes.
