Creating art for me is a similar experience to meditation or dancing, walking in the woods or being at the river. The creation of art brings me inner peace.
We could say that a personal artistic journey is how creativity is explored to transform ideas, over time. The visual form will change or be altered as a result of the exploration of the ideas, subjects, mediums, philosophies, training, classes, meditation, and experiences in nature and life. One may pause along the way, to gather and grow and then continue on our journey. I have been blessed and grateful to meet many amazing people in my life who have inspired me along my artistic journey and finding my voice of expression. Each from different walks in life with a common thread, they were also on a journey of finding their creative expression. They are my family, teachers, artists, different authors, colleagues and friends. In their own unique and special way they inspired me to listen to my inner voice which said, "you have a unique gift to share, you will have many teachers and mentors who will teach you to recognize your path. To each special person, thank you, with love and gratitude. |
