Art

Art is a funny thing. So many of us tell ourselves "Oh no, I'm not an artist.  I'm not creative!" And yet, how can you not be because life itself is the ultimate act of creation. Anything we do that turns inspiration into form is creativity at work, right?

But I get it. I too struggled to own my own inner artist.

I initially wanted to play with watercolors but it turns out I have huge "white paper" fear! The pressure to turn all that blank space "into something worthwhile" based on my vision of what watercolor was supposed to look like literally sucked all the joy out for me.

Then I discovered the magical combination of polymer clay, mosaics and mixed media. What I love about this type of artistic expression is that no one knows what it's “supposed" to look like so the end result is whatever lights me up.

A total win-win for my creative urges to flourish.

Art is a way for me to work in partnership with the divine. I never draw out or preplan whatever piece I'm working on.  I simply show up every day with the expectation that I will receive inspiration. The process forces me to get out of my head and just let exploration, intuition and joy guide me.

I must confess that I’m always astonished at what is finally revealed as a finished piece because I never know who or what is going to show up when I start out. The entire process feels very magical!

My art is a combination of polymer clay, a mixture of media and found objects obtained from too many hours wandering the aisles of art stores buying useless things that made me smile.

I hope my art makes you smile as well!
