Lack of sleep. Interruptions. Old cold house. Pending bills. Unfinished work: these are on the top of the list. The emotional and physical energy required to continue creating art is boundless. The work ethic is brutal! Creating a piece of art, totally born from an inner vision, is a step of faith. These are truths! Every thing is open ended, a finished "product" is a miracle. The courage it takes to be an artist is overlooked by many. Your soul is opened to the world, your spirit is opened to the masses, The truth is revealed. There is nothing to hide behind, there is no buck passing! To be this vulnerable is not for the faint of heart.
Look closely. Listen to us, do not just observe; we have something to say! We have no choice! We were created to live this life, we choose it!
When we touch someone, deliver beauty, enhance a day, month, year, we have accomplished our goal.
