Did you have one of those plastic viewfinders as a child? My creative process is much like having one of those viewfinders in my head at all times. I click from screen to screen as an idea comes into focus. Since I am the one peeking into this viewfinder and can control the next frame, it allows me to focus on one project as long as I need before moving onto the next idea. As a general rule I have at least 3 different projects going at once. Since I work in different mediums one day I might start in the jewelry studio and end at the easel. "Don't worry about unity from piece to piece, what unifies all of your work is the fact that you made it." -Austin Kleon I enjoy studying different art making practices and take courses online and in person from a wide range of artists to increase my vocabulary. I pray my own art reflects the teachings I've learned, not imitate them. That truth resonates in the work made by my own hands and I honor the fiber of my own thread. It may be dental floss I'm hanging onto at the moment, but it's mine. In my ecourse I teach students not to "lie to the canvas", rather be true to who you are as an artist and paint what you love and your audience will find you. In a world where so much inauthentic work is being made and put out for us to view I would rather make marks from a place of truth and honor. These marks are made to reflect my personal story, those who share my journey and life, and all the things that bring me joy. I find that by sharing myself through art I am able to reach many people, bringing JOY to their lives as well as my own.
