I am a lifetime learner.
When I discover a technique, art material or an artist whose work is new to me and catches my eye, I tend to get excited and reach out for a pen and paper. I take down notes, make little sketches and rummage thru reference photos plotting out my approach. I test out the method, theme, style or colorway that intrigued me. I learn as I work. Creating something new may or may not work on the first few attempts; however I adjust, evaluate and adapt to reach my end goal. It's difficult to keep this joy of making art all to myself. I sell my artwork and share the insights gained during my process through my work as a teaching artist. Albert Einstein said "Creativity is contagious, pass it on", and who am I to argue with him? |
