My interests vary. I have a ridiculously short attention span, and am happiest when I'm doing several things at the same time.
My art is an ample and willing companion, inevitably a part of what I'm doing at the moment, no matter what that is. It's there, if I'm sculpting. It's with me, when I make cards. Where ever these tangents take me, I return eventually to the well worn path drawn with pen & ink.
The muse speaks loudest when I’m working with pen and ink, so it has become my favorite medium. It’s accompanied me through turbulent teenage years, young adulthood, and throughout the entirety of my spiritual journey. It is the one aspect of my creativity that has been with me the longest and most consistently. Therefore, my greatest inspiration is expressed this way.
The need to create comes from a visceral place and is the culmination of my life’s experiences. It rises in me like a goddess reaching for the moon, pays its respects to my emotional body, and then flows like a tide from my fingertips onto paper. With art as my companion, I am on a voyage of self-discovery. I’m a work in progress. I thrive in defiance of a vastly changing world.
If you close your eyes and listen, you can hear the accelerated, collective consciousness of this unique time in Earth’s spiritual history. In response to that pulse, I am in rapid forward motion, growing, transforming, and always, always creating.
In fact, creating is like breathing.
I simply must.
