grateful thoughts tonight...
I am thrilled with the timing of something so awesome condisering my business and my art has grown into a new 5000 sq ft.storefront in downtown Lake Charles , LA . For 12 long years I have been determined to create art and make a living an artist.
By making art, I not only share a part of my life and myself with others, but I witness those also supporting what I love to do. To me, it’s about building excitement, brilliant colors and
community. If there was a “best supporters award”, it would go to my fans and followers for buying and supporting LOCAL! I was always told all my life to recognize when people do great things. So Thank you!
Both mentally and physically when I create a new piece, I experience creative bursts of
inspirations, ideas and daily adventures, hand shakes and new smiles. I love to create art. I love to play tennis, and I love to garden with my chickens. I play hard but I work harder. I believe everything we do affects what we desire in life. I experience, when I make art, what one may feel when they know they are in the right place at the right time. Everything...they say, happens for a reason. I am truly grateful to be surrounded by the many people whom are all artists who not only see what I do, but feel it.
I believe we are all just vessels...burstings of creative light, sound ,harmony, and
balance. Its hit me lately how these connections of people are vast but suddenly they start to spiral inward or become smaller and closer. There is so much energy being exachanged through conversation or visuals...or through what I love to do personally- make awerome art, make designs...make peoples minds connect to ther eyes with color, thoughts , experiences. Just life. And how everything is connected by layers. and those layers are what I explore in my work. Layers of minutes, memories, layers of blood, tears, layers of dirt, and eggshell layers. Its all fascinating to me; its what i love to do and I get inspired when I realize how it truly all connects. Layering with technology, art, sculpture, music and poetry. Its all pretty poetic to me.
I am so grateful for having the opportunity to be able to do what I love, but the support of my people is what really keeps me going. There is something larger than myself and I thank God everyday for being a witness of something amazing.
