Happy New Year – Happy Birthday to me!

I want to thank all the people who have supported, assisted, prayed and were with me in spirit in the year, 2010; I'm glad I lived it and I'm glad it's over! Many people have New Year's resolutions and I'm no different, but for me they're a little more special, since it's my birthday, too and they become my birthday wishes as well. Making resolutions, writing them down and letting others know what the resolutions are, help me to stay the course during the year. Big Thanks and shout out to Maria Brophy for giving me a little help in my artistic resolution department. FIVE NEW YEAR ART/ARTIST RESOLUTIONS: 1.) I RESOLVE TO PROMOTE MYSELF ...

Next Stage (WIP) – Obsession

I was in the "zone", (which is the preoccupation of obsessively creating an image), becoming so strong in my mind’s eye, that I am only freed from the zone by completing the actual work.  I worked days, excessively on this image.

Studio Visit

Lately, I've been spending a lot of time in my studio. Yes, I know, I'm an artist, what else am I suppose to be doing? I like people to see where I work, so that they can better appreciate what it is I do and see that there is an actual place of work.Well the unique part of doing work in my studio is that my studio is also my living area, my dining area, and my study area! So every time, I need to do anything not related to art, let's say eat, or relax, I need to jump up and put everything away or move things aside or ask for family help in doing some of these things!It makes life very interesting or very frustration for me, depending or ...
