Why am I doing this blog?
This blog is about me expanding my ideas into the public arena. I graduated in 2002, with a Visual Arts degree. I had acclaim about my art, but I did not share this confidence. It was hard for me to think about my work in a professional capacity, or to see why people would be interested in my work.
Since then I have created art, however, when I was not in my safety zone of a learning environment, the fear to show my work or explore its deeper meanings, has felt like an impossibility. As I grow older and continue to create art, I see that the importance of my work isn’t about what others think or believe art to be, but, what is important to me and the relationship I have with the subjects I choose to explore.
So, I have created this blog to share my ideas and thinking processes in an environment where I can have discussions with other artists and individuals, just like the comfort zone of the university art studio. But as an Artist and not a person that creates art in her spare time. As a professional and not as a hobbyist. To build my portfolio and to expand my horizons within the arena of the art world.
