My First Real Blog Post

So here it is, my first officially blog.  I have thought long and hard about where to begin but realized I have been on this journey for a long time and I just need to welcome you all aboard.  It is kind of a strange thing to become so transparent about my processes and general life as an artist.  I am going to jump into the deep end and just share, for better or worse.

As this series begins, I will be sharing what it is like to be behind the scenes of an independent artists' life, from my inspirations to my trips to the art store and all the stuff in between, which I hope won't be as painfully boring as I think it could be!  There is actually a lot of juicy turmoil to share, so stay tuned.

I ponder what I would like you to know to begin or continue our relationship, and it is this:  the art you choose to surround yourself with serves as a window into your spirit, your experiences, your hopes, your dreams.  It is a statement of who you are, where you've been, and how you live your life.  Are you up to the challenge of living with art that tells your story?  Are you interesting enough to invite my work to live with you?  I hope so, because I am kinda awesome ;  )

Til we meet again.
